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
Nellie Melba, born Helen Porter Mitchell in Tasmania, Australia, in 1861, was a renowned soprano whose illustrious career spanned over five decades. This photograph captures Melba in the prime of her artistic life, as she embodied the tragic heroine Marguerite in Charles Gounod's Faust. The image, taken in 1931, reveals Melba's striking profile, with her wavy, long, and flowing golden hair cascading down her shoulders. Her expressive face, adorned with a radiant smile, contrasts the sorrowful and complex nature of the character she portrayed on stage. Melba's interpretation of Marguerite was celebrated for its depth and emotional intensity, which captivated audiences worldwide. Her unique voice, characterized by its warm, rich tone and remarkable agility, was unparalleled in its ability to convey the passion and longing of the character. This photograph serves as a testament to Melba's extraordinary talent and her profound impact on the world of opera. Originally named Helen Porter Mitchell, Melba adopted the stage name "Nellie Melba" in honor of her birthplace, Melbourne, Australia. Her groundbreaking achievements as an Australian artist paved the way for future generations of Australian performers and solidified her place in the annals of opera history. This photograph, with its evocative portrayal of Melba in the role of Marguerite, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex legacy of this extraordinary artist.
