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.

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: "John Gibson, Renowned 19th Century British Sculptor" John Gibson (1790-1866), a prominent figure in the world of British sculpture during the 19th century, is depicted in this evocative portrait. Born on March 17, 1790, in London, Gibson's artistic talents were evident from an early age. He studied under the tutelage of the renowned neoclassical sculptor, John Flaxman, and later traveled to Italy to further hone his skills. Gibson's sculptures were characterized by their graceful forms, intricate details, and exquisite craftsmanship. He is best known for his life-size marble figure of "The Death of Marat," which he created in 1833. This masterpiece, inspired by the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David, is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Gibson's works were highly sought after by the aristocracy and the royal family, including Queen Victoria, who commissioned him to create several sculptures for Windsor Castle. His other notable works include "The Three Graces," "The Bacchantes," and "The Three Fates." Despite his success, Gibson faced numerous challenges throughout his career. The economic downturn in the 1840s led to a decline in commissions, forcing him to sell many of his works at greatly reduced prices. However, his reputation as a master sculptor endured, and he continued to produce works until his death on February 2, 1866. This photograph captures the essence of John Gibson, a man whose passion for art and unwavering dedication to his craft left an indelible mark on the history of British sculpture.
