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
In this enchanting image from the annals of British history, the Duke of Wellington, one of the most celebrated military and political figures of the 19th century, is depicted presenting a first birthday gift to his godson, Prince Arthur, later to become the Duke of Connaught. The photograph, taken between 1769 and 1852, captures a tender moment of affection and camaraderie between the two noblemen. The Duke of Wellington, born Arthur Wellesley in 1852, rose to prominence during the Napoleonic Wars, earning fame for his military prowess and strategic brilliance. He was a trusted advisor to Queen Victoria and served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1828 to 1830. Prince Arthur, born in 1850, was the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. In this photograph, he is shown as a cherubic toddler, seated on a plush chair, beaming with delight as the Duke of Wellington presents him with a gift. The Duke's warm smile and gentle demeanor convey the deep bond between the two men, who shared a special connection as godfather and godson. The image is a poignant reminder of the personal side of these historical figures, offering a glimpse into their lives beyond the public sphere. It also highlights the enduring relationship between the monarchy and the aristocracy during the Victorian era. This photograph is a precious treasure from the past, evoking feelings of nostalgia and wonder. It is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the enduring bonds of loyalty and friendship that have shaped its legacy.
