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 sketch of Kinchley Hill and Brazil Wood in Swithland, Leicestershire, captures the picturesque beauty of the Midlands countryside during the Victorian era. Drawn by the Reverend Baden Powell, father of the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell, in 1859, the scene presents a serene and idyllic tableau of the English countryside. The granite rocks of Kinchley Hill and the adjacent Brazil Wood are depicted with intricate detail, their rough, textured surfaces contrasting with the lush, green foliage of the surrounding landscape. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of laborers in the foreground, engaged in the manual labor of harvesting the ripe crops with sickles and scythes. The quarries and quarrying buildings in the background add an industrial touch to the otherwise pastoral setting. The Reverend Baden Powell's skilled use of ink and slate creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the scene and transporting them back in time. The peaceful, rural atmosphere of Swithland in the 1850s is captured in this exquisite sketch, offering a glimpse into the agricultural and manual labor that characterized the Midlands during this period. The association between the Reverend Baden Powell and the Scout Movement adds an extra layer of significance to this image. The values of hard work, self-reliance, and appreciation for the natural world that are embodied in the Scouting movement can be seen reflected in the scene depicted in this sketch. Overall, this image is a beautiful and evocative representation of the English countryside and the rural life of the Victorian era.
