1938 Dolls Margaret Offered Pictured Princesses Elizabeth
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 enchanting photograph, taken in 1938, captures a heartwarming moment in the history of Anglo-French relations. The image shows Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, then aged 12 and 8 respectively, sitting in two beautifully crafted model cars, gifts from the children of France. The cars, adorned with the national emblems of France and Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, are a delightful representation of the spirit of friendship and camaraderie between the two nations. The young princesses are pictured with their dolls, dressed in traditional French and British attire, adding an extra layer of charm to the scene. Two young French girls look on with pride and excitement, their eyes fixed on the princesses as they explore their miniature vehicles. The scene exudes a sense of joy and innocence, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royal children during a time of peace and unity. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between France and the United Kingdom, a bond that has weathered the test of time and continues to thrive today. It serves as a reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cultural exchange, and the power of friendship to bring people together, regardless of their backgrounds or nationalities. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, offering a unique insight into the lives of the young princesses and the diplomatic relations between their countries. It is a treasure trove of history, culture, and human connection, and a reminder of the power of small gestures to leave a lasting impact.
