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 evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of John Williams, a man of great importance in the turbulent political and religious landscape of 17th century England. Born in 1582, Williams rose to prominence as a churchman and statesman, serving as Archbishop of York from 1621 until his death in 1650. Williams' career was marked by a deep commitment to the Church of England and a keen understanding of the political realities of his time. He was a trusted advisor to King James I and later to his son, Charles I, serving as Lord Keeper from 1633 to 1641. During his tenure as Lord Keeper, Williams played a key role in the controversial Star Chamber proceedings, which were criticized for their arbitrary nature and lack of due process. Despite his close ties to the monarchy, Williams remained a moderate figure in the face of the growing religious and political unrest that would eventually lead to the English Civil War. He was known for his efforts to promote religious tolerance and reconciliation, and his opposition to the extreme Puritan elements within the Church of England. This portrait, likely painted during Williams' tenure as Lord Keeper, captures the dignity and gravitas of a man who navigated the complex political and religious landscape of his time with skill and integrity. The richly textured fabric of his robe and the intricate details of his collar and other insignia attest to the high status and importance of the subject. John Williams' legacy as a churchman and statesman continues to be felt in the history of England, and this portrait serves as a powerful reminder of his significant contributions to the political and religious life of his country during a time of great upheaval.
