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
Matthew Arnold (1822-1888): A Literary and Cultural Icon, as Captured by Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys and Octave Lacour This exquisite engraving, entitled "Matthew Arnold," is a testament to the enduring legacy of the English poet, cultural critic, and education inspector. The image, created by renowned painter Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys (1829-1904) and masterfully engraved by Octave Lacour (1855-1921), was produced in 1884. Matthew Arnold, born in 1822, was a prominent figure in Victorian England, known for his profound contributions to literature and culture. His works, including "Empedocles on Etna," "The Scholar Gypsy," and "Culture and Anarchy," continue to captivate readers with their insightful commentary on society, education, and the human condition. In this portrait, Sandys and Lacour have captured the intellectual intensity and refined sensibility of Arnold. The poet is depicted in a thoughtful pose, with a serious expression and piercing gaze, suggesting the depth of his contemplation. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, enhancing the sense of depth and dimension. As a cultural critic, Arnold championed the importance of education in fostering a well-rounded and enlightened society. His role as an education inspector further solidified his commitment to this cause. The image of Arnold, with its intellectual and introspective qualities, serves as a fitting representation of the man and his enduring influence on English literature and culture. This engraving is a beautiful and evocative reminder of the life and work of Matthew Arnold, a literary and cultural icon whose legacy continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
