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 print showcases the Italian actor Giuseppe de Begnis in his iconic role as Don Geronio in the opera "Il Turco in Italia," which premiered at London's Italian Opera House at Haymarket in 1822. The image, a handcolored stipple copperplate engraving, is an exquisite work of art in its own right, created by the skilled hands of Robert Cooper, based on a painting by Frederic de Waldeck. De Begnis, known for his versatility and charisma on stage, brought the character of Don Geronio to life with his compelling performances. "Il Turco in Italia," a popular opera buffa, was a favorite among London audiences, and de Begnis' portrayal of the hapless, cuckolded husband was a crowd-pleaser. The print captures the essence of the theatrical experience of the time, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The Italian Opera House at Haymarket was a hub of cultural activity, attracting the elite of London society, and this print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the theater and the artistry of those who graced its stage. The print is part of D. Terry's British Theatrical Gallery, a collection that documented the lives and careers of the most prominent actors and actresses of the day. This print, in particular, offers a glimpse into the world of Italian opera in London during the early 19th century and the enduring legacy of Giuseppe de Begnis as a beloved and talented performer.
