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 captures the distinguished visage of Acheson T. Henderson, QC (Quartermaster-General of the Irish Volunteers), as painted by the renowned Irish artist John Butler Yeats in 1891. Henderson, born in 1812, was a prominent figure in Irish political and legal circles during the late 19th century. His impressive career included serving as a Member of Parliament, Solicitor General for Ireland, and ultimately, as the Queen's Counsel. Yeats, a leading figure in the Irish arts scene, expertly rendered Henderson's portrait using oil on canvas. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out the intricacies of Henderson's facial features, from the furrowed brow and piercing gaze to the subtle creases around the eyes, which speak to a life filled with wisdom and experience. The muted earth tones of the background and Henderson's attire further emphasize the subject's stature and importance. This painting is an invaluable historical record of a significant figure in Irish history, offering a glimpse into the political and social landscape of the time. The portrait also serves as a testament to the artistic talents of John Butler Yeats, whose work continues to be celebrated for its depth and nuance. With its rich detail and evocative presence, this portrait of Acheson T. Henderson, QC remains a captivating work of art that invites viewers to explore the stories of the past.
