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
1. Title: "Johann Jacob Escher: The Dutch Statesman" Johann Jacob Escher (1656-1711) was a prominent Dutch statesman and diplomat of the late 17th century. This evocative black and white portrait captures the wisdom and gravity of Escher's distinguished character. The intricate detailing of his attire, from the velvet collar of his coat to the lace cuffs and the elaborate buckle of his shoes, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in the city of Groningen, Escher began his political career as a member of the local city council. He quickly rose through the ranks, serving as a member of the States-General of the Dutch Republic, the highest legislative body in the Dutch Republic. Escher's diplomatic skills were put to the test during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697), where he played a pivotal role in negotiating peace treaties with France and England. Despite his successes, Escher's tenure as a statesman was not without controversy. He was a staunch supporter of the Dutch East India Company, which led to accusations of corruption and self-interest. However, his contributions to Dutch diplomacy and foreign policy were significant, and he is remembered as a key figure in the Dutch Republic's successful defense against foreign aggression during a time of great political and economic instability. This portrait of Johann Jacob Escher serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of Dutch political life during the late 17th century. It invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of this remarkable statesman and the role he played in shaping the history of the Dutch Republic.
