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.

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.

King George V's Historic Tigers Hunt in Nepal during the Durbar Celebrations of 1911 This evocative photograph captures a moment from the historic tiger hunting expedition led by King George V during his visit to India for the Durbar celebrations in 1911. The King's passion for big game hunting brought him to Nepal, where he embarked on an exhilarating adventure that would see him kill thirty-nine tigers, with twenty-four falling to his rifle. The monarch is depicted here, elegantly dressed in hunting attire, atop an elephant as he sets off in pursuit of his quarry. The majestic animal, adorned with intricate decorations, appears calm and obedient, as the King's trusted mahout skillfully guides it through the dense jungle. The serene expression on the King's face and the regal bearing of his posture convey a sense of determination and confidence. The Durbar celebrations were a significant event in the history of the British Raj, marking the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. This hunting expedition added an exciting chapter to the royal visit, showcasing the power, prestige, and adventure that came with being a monarch during that era. This photograph is a captivating testament to the rich history of royalty, events, and hunting expeditions, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable experiences of King George V during his time in India and Nepal.
