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 enchanting engraving, titled 'Banquet at the Palace of Rais in Mynere,' transports us back to the British colonial era in India during the 19th century. The image, published in The Illustrated World in 1882, captures the grandeur and sophistication of a colonial gala, held in the opulent palace of Rais. The palace, adorned with intricate Indian architecture, showcases the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western influences. The banquet scene is filled with a diverse group of diners, including British officials, Hindu nobles, and their servents, all coming together to celebrate an occasion of great importance. The table, laden with an array of sumptuous dishes, reflects the richness and luxury of the era. The diners, dressed in their finest attire, engage in animated conversations, while fans provide a refreshing respite from the warm Indian climate. The engraving, created by the skilled hand of Hildibrand, beautifully captures the essence of the colonial age. The use of color adds to the vibrancy and richness of the image, making it a captivating visual representation of the time. The tablecloth, adorned with intricate patterns, and the carpets underfoot, add to the overall elegance of the scene. Despite the opulence and grandeur of the banquet, it is important to remember the underlying realities of colonialism and serfdom. The presence of servents, dressed in traditional Indian attire, serves as a stark reminder of the power dynamics that existed during this era. This engraving is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a historical record of a bygone era, offering us a glimpse into the past and the complexities of the colonial relationship between India and Great Britain.
