1891 Alec Encounter Hardy Lane Meeting Tess
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 evocative image captures the poignant moment of first encounter between Tess Durbeyfield and Alec D'Urberville in Thomas Hardy's timeless novel, "The Return of the Native" (published 1891, but the scene actually takes place earlier in the story). Set in the lush, rolling countryside of Wessex, England, the photograph transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to step into the pages of this classic work of historical fiction. Tess, played by an earnest and innocent-looking actress, is seen walking along a narrow country lane, her long, dark hair flowing in the breeze. Her expression is one of curiosity and apprehension as she approaches the figure of Alec D'Urberville (portrayed by a rugged and handsome actor), who stands at the edge of the lane, watching her approach. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the textures of the countryside and the rich colors of Tess's rustic dress. Hardy's novel, which explores themes of love, morality, and fate, is renowned for its vivid descriptions of the natural world and its complex characters. This photograph, with its beautiful composition and evocative atmosphere, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the story and invites us to reflect on the fateful consequences of Tess and Alec's encounter. Whether you are a devoted fan of Hardy's work or a newcomer to his novels, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to the world of Wessex.
