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
In this striking photograph, taken at Friedrichshof Palace in 1906, King Edward VII of England is seen in a cordial meeting with his nephew, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. The two monarchs are seated at a table, surrounded by key figures of European nobility. To the king's right, Count Hohenau, the Austro-Hungarian statesman, stands attentively. To the Kaiser's left, the Crown Princess of Greece, Princess Sophie, is engaged in conversation with Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse. In the background, Grand Duchess George Michailovitch of Russia, dressed in an elegant white gown, watches the scene unfold. This historic moment marked the height of Edward VII's diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and strengthen relations between Britain and Germany, despite growing tensions in Europe. The meeting at Friedrichshof, also known as the Saalburg, took place amidst the backdrop of the Morocco Crisis, which threatened to escalate into a major conflict between the two powers. The photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of European royalty during this period. The elegant decor of the palace, with its ornate furnishings and rich colors, serves as a fitting setting for the high-stakes political negotiations that were taking place. The attire of the royal figures, with their formal uniforms and elegant gowns, underscores the importance of the occasion and the gravity of the issues at hand. Despite the looming tensions, the photograph captures a moment of respite, as the monarchs and their entourages come together in a display of unity and camaraderie. The meeting at Friedrichshof would ultimately prove to be a brief reprieve in the lead-up to the First World War, but it remains an enduring symbol of the complex web of alliances and diplomacy that characterized European politics in the early 20th century.
