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 woodcut print depicts Edward the Confessor, the last king of the Anglo-Saxon line and the only English monarch to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Born in 1004 as Eadward, the son of King Aethelred II, Edward's lineage is deeply rooted in the rich history of English royalty. He is often referred to as the Confessor due to his pious and devout nature. Edward's reign, which spanned from 1042 to 1066, was marked by political instability and external threats. He was a cousin of William the Conqueror, who would later invade England and claim the throne, leading to the Norman Conquest. Despite these challenges, Edward is remembered for his efforts to promote peace and unity within his kingdom. The woodcut print captures the solemn and reflective demeanor of Edward, dressed in royal robes and adorned with a halo, symbolizing his sainthood. The intricate details of the woodcut technique bring out the textures of his clothing and the ornate patterns of the background, transporting us back to the medieval era. Edward the Confessor's legacy extends beyond his reign, as he is considered a bridge between the Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods in English history. His life and rule continue to be a subject of fascination for historians and scholars, making this woodcut print a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or English royalty memorabilia.
