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 full-length portrait captures the distinguished figure of George Vertue (1684-1756), an English engraver and antiquary of great renown. Vertue's scholarly pursuits and artistic talents placed him at the heart of the intellectual and artistic circles of his time. He is depicted here in formal attire, wearing a voluminous robe and a high, powdered wig, which were the fashionable accoutrements of the day for men of learning and refinement. Vertue's career as an engraver began in the late 17th century, and he quickly established himself as a master of the art form. His meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of his subjects' features made him a sought-after engraver for portraits of the rich and famous. However, Vertue's true passion lay in his role as an antiquary, a scholar of antiquities. He dedicated much of his time to the study of ancient coins, medals, and inscriptions, and his extensive knowledge in this area made him a valuable resource for collectors and historians. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who was not only a skilled artist but also a dedicated scholar and intellectual. Vertue's contributions to the fields of engraving and antiquarian studies continue to be celebrated and appreciated to this day, and this image serves as a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy.
