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 striking portrait of Michael Collins, painted by Hazel Lavery in 1922, captures the intensity and charisma of the Irish leader during a pivotal moment in his country's history. Collins, who served as Chief of the Irish Free State Provisional Government and Sinn Fein Minister of Finance, was a central figure in the negotiations for the Anglo-Irish Treaty that same year. The Laverys, who were well-known figures in London society, lent their palatial home at Cromwell Place in South Kensington to the Irish delegation during these negotiations, providing them with a crucial space for discussions. Hazel Lavery, an accomplished artist in her own right and the wife of the renowned painter Sir John Lavery, was able to observe Collins up close, capturing his likeness with remarkable skill and insight. The resulting portrait is a testament to the unique relationship between the Irish delegation and the Laverys during this historic period. With its rich detail and evocative brushstrokes, this portrait offers a glimpse into the complex world of Irish politics and diplomacy in the early 20th century.
