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
This portrait captures the enigmatic Dutch writer Maarten Maartens, born Jozua Marius Willem van der Poorten Schwartz, in the late 1890s. Maartens was a prolific author who wrote primarily in English, producing novels, short stories, plays, and poems that showcased his unique literary voice. Born in 1858, Maartens was a man of his time, as evidenced by his well-groomed appearance in this photograph. His moustache and winged collar are fashionable accessories of the era, while his centre parting and slicked-back hair suggest a man of refinement and sophistication. Despite his Dutch heritage, Maartens chose to write in English, a decision that set him apart from many of his contemporaries. His works were known for their wit, insight, and emotional depth, earning him a loyal following both in Europe and in the English-speaking world. Maartens' literary output was diverse, ranging from light-hearted comedies to serious dramas that tackled social issues of the day. His plays were particularly popular, and he was often referred to as a playwright and dramatist. Despite his success, Maartens remained a private and enigmatic figure. He preferred to keep his personal life out of the public eye, allowing his work to speak for itself. This portrait offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the words, revealing a thoughtful and introspective individual whose contributions to literature continue to be celebrated over a century later. This photograph is part of the Annabel Watts Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and is a testament to the enduring appeal of Maarten Maartens and his literary legacy.
