FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 evocative image, Frederick, Lord North (1732-1792), a prominent British statesman and Prime Minister, is depicted in deep conversation with an unidentified woman, known only as "Miss Sp--c-r." The photograph, dated between 1732 and 1792, offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of Lord North's life, which was otherwise dominated by his political career. Lord North's tenure as Prime Minister, which lasted from 1770 to 1782, was marked by significant events in British history. He led the country through the American Revolution, implementing policies that ultimately led to the loss of the American colonies. Despite the political upheaval, North's reputation as a skilled administrator and a formidable debater in the House of Commons endured. The identity of the woman in the photograph remains a mystery, fueling speculation among historians. Some believe she may have been a close confidante or even a romantic interest, while others suggest she could have been a political ally or a member of the aristocracy. Regardless, the image adds an intriguing layer to the historical record of Lord North's life, offering a glimpse into the personal relationships that shaped his public persona. The photograph, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the complexities of historical figures and the importance of exploring the human side of their stories. The image invites us to consider the role of personal relationships in shaping the lives of influential figures, and the ways in which these relationships can influence history. Whether viewed through the lens of politics, history, or human interest, this photograph of Lord North and his friend remains a captivating and enigmatic piece of the past.
