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 striking photograph captures George Montagu (1853-1892), the 8th Duke of Manchester, in the prime of his political career. Montagu, an Honorable British peer, rose to prominence in 1876 when he married Consuelo Yznaga, a Cuban-American socialite. Their union produced one son and twin daughters, adding to the ducal lineage. In 1877, Montagu entered the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Huntingdonshire, a position he held until 1880. The Duke's political ambitions continued to grow, and in 1890, he succeeded to the dukedom upon the death of his father. With this new title came a seat in the House of Lords, further solidifying his place in the British political landscape. Montagu's distinguished appearance in this photograph reflects his noble status and the refinement of the British aristocracy during the late Victorian era. The Duke's attire, complete with the insignia of his ducal title, exudes an air of authority and prestige. The photograph serves as a testament to Montagu's political achievements and his role as a prominent figure in British society during the late 19th century. The Duke's life was cut tragically short in 1892, but his legacy as a British peer and political figure lived on. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of Montagu's contributions to British politics and the enduring influence of the aristocracy during this period.
