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 photograph captures the essence of a historic musical event held at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London, in the year 1859. The Crystal Palace, an iconic architectural marvel of its time, served as the grand backdrop for a Festival of Handel's music. The image presents a vibrant scene of the public in high spirits, gathered together to celebrate the music of the renowned German composer, George Frideric Handel. Handel, who lived from 1685 to 1759, was a leading figure in the Baroque music era. His compositions, which included oratorios, anthems, and concertos, were celebrated for their beauty, complexity, and emotional depth. The Festival at the Crystal Palace was an opportunity for the people of London to come together and enjoy these masterpieces in a communal setting. The photograph shows the audience seated on the grassy hillside, their faces upturned towards the stage. The performers, dressed in formal attire, can be seen on the platform, poised to deliver a stunning musical performance. The Crystal Palace, with its glass and cast iron structure, gleams in the sunlight, adding an air of grandeur to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the power of music to bring people together and create a sense of community. It also offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the rich cultural history of England during the Victorian era. The Festival of Handel's music at the Crystal Palace remains an important chapter in the annals of musical history, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of that legacy.
