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 evocative oval print captures the likeness of James Thomson, a renowned Scottish poet, at the age of 46. The image, created by the Scottish engraver and printmaker, Paton, showcases Thomson in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with a velvet cap adorned with laurel leaves resting on his head. The poet is depicted holding a lyre, an ancient musical instrument symbolizing the harmony and beauty of poetry. Surrounding Thomson are cherubs, those mythological infants representing the innocence and charm of youth. Their presence adds a sense of whimsy and playfulness to the image, while also emphasizing the connection between poetry and the divine. Thomson's poetic works, particularly his collaborations with David Mallett, such as "The Seasons," brought him great acclaim during his lifetime. His writing, which often explored the natural world and the human condition, resonated deeply with the Scottish people and beyond. This print, with its intricate detail and rich symbolism, serves as a testament to Thomson's enduring legacy as a poet and the profound impact his words continue to have on readers. The cherubs, the lyre, and the laurel wreath all serve to celebrate the artistic and intellectual achievements of this remarkable man.
