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 striking photograph captures the intense gaze of Sir Jacob Epstein (1880-1959), the renowned British sculptor, as he poses for the camera in 1922. Epstein's modernist style is evident in his angular features, deeply carved lines, and the bold, geometric forms that define his face. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for Mary Evans Picture Library, freezes a moment in time for the artist who was at the forefront of the avant-garde art scene in London during the early 20th century. Born in New York to Jewish parents, Epstein moved to London in 1902 and quickly gained recognition for his innovative approach to sculpture. His works, which often featured nude figures, challenged societal norms and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. Epstein's most famous sculpture, "Rock Drill," caused a scandal when it was unveiled in 1913, as it depicted a nude, muscular figure of a man in a provocative pose, wielding a drill. Despite the controversy, Epstein's reputation continued to grow, and he was knighted by King George VI in 1933 in recognition of his contributions to the arts. This photograph, taken during a pivotal moment in Epstein's career, offers a rare glimpse into the face and spirit of a groundbreaking artist who left an indelible mark on the art world. The vertical composition of the image, with Epstein's strong, angular features and the bold lines of his suit, adds to the sense of power and intensity that defines both the artist and the photograph itself. This print, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone interested in modern art, British history, or the life and work of Sir Jacob Epstein.
