23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 image captures a poignant moment in the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary (also known as Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia), as she bids farewell to her husband, Ludwig, Landgrave of Thuringia, before he embarks on a crusade to the Holy Land in the late 13th century. Dressed in the simple garb of a Benedictine nun, Elizabeth stands in the foreground, her hands pressed together in prayer, her eyes filled with tears as she gazes upon her beloved husband, mounted on his horse and surrounded by his soldiers. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling medieval encampment, with tents and banners in the distance, and the clamor of preparations for departure filling the air. Elizabeth and Ludwig's love story is one of the most enduring in European history. They married in 1221, despite their families' objections to the match due to their different religious backgrounds - Elizabeth was a Hungarian princess, while Ludwig was a German nobleman. Their marriage was marked by deep devotion and mutual respect, and they lived a simple, pious life together. However, when Ludwig was called to join the Fifth Crusade in 1217, Elizabeth was heartbroken but supportive, and she dedicated herself to acts of charity and good works in his absence. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval history, with its intricate details and evocative atmosphere. The image of Saint Elizabeth's farewell to her husband is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of love and faith in the face of adversity.
