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.

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 photograph, Mme. Schliemann, also known as Sophia Schliemann, is seen proudly wearing a dazzling array of ornaments and jewels discovered at the archaeological site of Mycenae in Greece. Her husband, the renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, believed these treasures to be the property of Helen of Troy, the legendary queen of Sparta and the cause of the Trojan War. The image, taken in 1877, captures the essence of the intriguing and controversial world of archaeology in the late 19th century. Sophia Schliemann, dressed in an elegant necklace and head dress adorned with gold and other precious stones, flaunts the pretense of being the long-lost queen of Troy. Heinrich Schliemann's belief in the authenticity of these treasures was met with skepticism from the academic community, but his passion and determination fueled his relentless pursuit of ancient Greek history. The Schliemanns' discoveries at Mycenae, including the famous Mask of Agamemnon, significantly contributed to the understanding of Mycenaean civilization and the Bronze Age. The preservation of these priceless ornaments and jewels is a testament to the importance of archaeology in uncovering the rich history of our past. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and allure of the ancient world but also highlights the role of the Schliemanns in bringing these treasures to light for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Mme. Schliemann's confident and regal appearance in the photograph adds an element of mystery and intrigue, as she embodies the enigmatic figure of Helen of Troy, whose legend continues to captivate the world. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of history, archaeology, and human curiosity.
