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 exquisite miniature, created by the renowned French illuminator, A. Verard, in 1490, depicts King Arthur and his knights gathered at the legendary Round Table in Camelot. The Round Table, a symbol of unity and equality among Arthur's knights, is depicted here with a central, empty seat reserved for the yet-to-arrive Lancelot du Lac. King Arthur, dressed regally in his royal robes, presides over the scene with an authoritative yet benevolent expression. The knights, dressed in their distinctive armor, are seated around the table, each one ready to embark on the next great adventure. This miniature is an illustration from an incunable, or early printed book, of the French prose version of the Lancelot-Grail cycle. The Lancelot-Grail cycle is a collection of Arthurian legends that tells the stories of the hero Lancelot and his quest for the Holy Grail. This particular incunable, now housed in the National Library in Paris, France, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Arthurian legend in medieval Europe. The Arthurian legend, with its themes of chivalry, honor, and the quest for the divine, continues to captivate the imagination of people around the world. This miniature, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of medieval Europe and the United Kingdom, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling.
