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 introspective gaze of James Johnstone (1815-1878), an influential 19th century Scottish newspaper proprietor. The image, taken during the latter part of Johnstone's illustrious career, reveals a man deeply engrossed in the written word. Johnstone wears an elegant waistcoat and cravat, the epitome of Victorian fashion, yet it is the intriguing accessories that draw the eye. Perched upon his nose are a pair of pince-nez spectacles, their slender frames holding two lenses that magnify the text before him. In his hands, he holds a daily newspaper, its pages creased and worn from frequent handling. The expression on his face is one of unwavering concentration, as if he is poring over the latest headlines and unraveling the intricacies of the day's events. Johnstone's dedication to the newspaper industry began in the 1840s when he founded the 'Glasgow Weekly Citizen.' Over the following decades, he expanded his publishing empire to include numerous titles, including the 'Glasgow Herald,' which remains Scotland's oldest and largest daily newspaper. Johnstone's commitment to journalistic integrity and his ability to cater to the growing demand for news during the Victorian era solidified his reputation as a pioneering figure in Scottish journalism. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of print media on society during the 19th century and the unwavering dedication of its pioneers, such as James Johnstone, who shaped the way we consume news today.
