17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and complex character of Henri, Duc d'Aumale (1822-1897), the fourth son of King Louis-Philippe of France. Born into the House of Orleans, Duc d'Aumale was known for his intelligence, charm, and artistic sensibilities. He was a patron of the arts and a collector of fine art and antiques, amassing an impressive collection that would later become the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. The image, taken in 1822 when Duc d'Aumale was just a young man, reveals a thoughtful and introspective demeanor. His piercing gaze and serious expression suggest a deep inner contemplation, while the delicate folds of his cravat and the elegant cut of his coat underscore his aristocratic heritage. Despite his privileged upbringing, Duc d'Aumale's life was marked by tragedy and personal loss. He was exiled from France following the Revolution of 1848 and spent many years in England and Italy. He also experienced the untimely death of his wife, the Duchess of Montpensier, in 1867. Throughout his life, Duc d'Aumale remained committed to his artistic pursuits and his role as a patron of the arts. He was a generous supporter of artists and writers, including Victor Hugo and Gustave Doré, and played a significant role in the development of the Chantilly School of painting. This portrait offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing life of a man who defied the expectations of his aristocratic upbringing and left a lasting legacy as a patron of the arts and a collector of inestimable value.
