FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the tradition of foxhunting in the 1930s. The horse, Kilrue, is seen here at Barleythorpe Hall near Oakham, the hunting lodge of Lord Lonsdale when he was Master of the Cottesmore Hunt in Rutland, Leicestershire. Kilrue, an Irish hunter, is beautifully adorned with a saddle and bridle, ready for the chase. In the background, the huntsman and hounds are gathered, their eyes fixed on the horizon, anticipating the sighting of a fox. The scene is set against the backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, the quintessential English landscape. The East Midlands, with its rich hunting heritage, has long been a popular destination for those seeking the thrill of the chase. Lord Lonsdale, an esteemed figure in the world of foxhunting, sits atop Kilrue with an air of confidence and determination. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished sport and a symbol of the rural way of life. It is a scene that continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt and the beauty of the English countryside.
