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
Mrs. James Brown-Potter, née Cora Urquhart (1859-1936), was an American actress of great renown during the early 20th century. This portrait, taken in 1903, captures her in the prime of her career. Born Cora Urquhart in New York City, she made her stage debut in 1880 at the age of 21. She quickly gained recognition for her versatility and talent, performing in a range of roles from tragic heroines to comedic characters. In this image, Mrs. Potter exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, donning an ermine fur collar and a regal expression. Her piercing gaze and expressive features convey a depth of emotion that belies the stillness of the photograph. The image is a testament to the power of her stage presence and the enduring allure of the theater. Mrs. Potter's impressive career spanned over five decades, during which she graced the stages of some of the most prestigious theaters in the United States and Europe. She was a member of the renowned Players' Company, which was founded by actor-manager Richard Mansfield in 1888. However, this photograph is not of the Players' Company, but rather a portrait of the actress herself. Despite her success on stage, Mrs. Potter's personal life was marked by tragedy. She was married twice, first to actor James Brown-Potter, with whom she had two children, and later to actor-manager Charles Frohman. Both of her husbands died young, leaving her a widow. Mrs. James Brown-Potter's legacy as a trailblazing actress continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This portrait, a glimpse into the past, offers a window into the life and career of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the history of American theater.
