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
In this charming photograph, Mrs Gerald Legge, later known as Raine, Countess Spencer and Comtesse de Chambrun, is captured at her home in 12 Chester Street, off Belgrave Square, London, with her two young sons, Rupert and William. The image, published in the Sketch magazine in 1952, showcases the elegant interior of the family residence, adorned with ornate ornaments and tasteful decor. Raine, who was born in 1929, was a British socialite and politician. At the time this photograph was taken, she was married to the Honorable Gerald Humphrey Legge, Viscount Lewisham and later, 9th Earl of Dartmouth. Raine's marriage to Legge was her third, and she would later marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, becoming Princess Consort of Monaco and the mother of Princess Caroline, Princess Stéphanie, and Prince Albert II. In the photograph, Raine exudes a warm and nurturing presence as she sits on a plush armchair, her sons Rupert and William playfully interacting with her. Rupert, born in 1951, and William, born in 1949, are dressed in smart attire, reflecting the refined atmosphere of their home. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a prominent British socialite and her young family, providing a window into the past and offering a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
