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 photograph captures His Imperial Majesty King George V during his grand big-game shoot expedition in Nepal, December 1911. The King, dressed in hunting attire and mounted on an elephant, makes his way through the dense jungle. The scene exudes an air of imperial grandeur, as the British monarch leads his entourage deep into the heart of the Nepalese wilderness. The King's colonial expedition was a symbol of British power and influence in India and its surrounding territories. The hunt was a popular pastime among the British aristocracy, and the opportunity to bag a prized big-game trophy was a source of great prestige. The Nepalese jungle, teeming with exotic wildlife, provided the perfect backdrop for this royal event. The King, an experienced hunter, is shown here in his element, with a sense of determination and focus in his eyes. The elephant, a common mode of transport in the jungle, carries him and his companions through the thick foliage. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the British Empire held sway over vast territories and the pursuit of big-game hunting was a popular pastime among the ruling elite. The image is a testament to the power, wealth, and prestige of the British monarchy during the colonial period.
