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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 striking image captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Reformation, as Martin Luther and the Elector of Saxony, Johann Friedrich I the Magnificent (1503-1554), join together in witnessing the baptism of Jesus Christ. The scene, depicted in this beautiful 16th-century print from Mary Evans Picture Library, is believed to have been created around 1542, during the height of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Luther, the German theologian and monk, is famously known for his role in initiating the Protestant Reformation with his Ninety-five Theses in 1517. His beliefs, which challenged the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences and called for a return to the Bible as the ultimate source of religious authority, sparked a religious and political upheaval that would forever change the course of history. The Elector of Saxony, as the ruler of the electorate of Saxony, was an influential figure in the political landscape of the Holy Roman Empire. His support for Luther and the Protestant cause was a significant factor in the spread of the Reformation throughout Germany and Europe. In this print, Luther and the Elector are depicted standing side by side, their gazes fixed on the scene of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River. Surrounding them are a group of cherubs, symbolizing the presence of God and His divine intervention in this momentous event. The intricate details of the print, from the flowing robes of the figures to the delicate wings of the cherubs, showcase the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This powerful image not only captures the historical significance of Luther and the Elector's alliance but also underscores the spiritual and theological implications of the Reformation. It is a testament to the enduring impact of their beliefs and the profound influence they had on the religious and political landscape of Europe.
