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
The British Valhalla -- Our Crusading Kings: A Glorious Narrative of Heroic Monarchs and the Crusades This evocative late 12th century print, titled "The British Valhalla -- Our Crusading Kings," transports us back to an era of chivalry, faith, and courage as it depicts two of Europe's most revered monarchs, King Richard I of England, also known as the Lionheart, and King Philip II of France, during the momentous Third Crusade (1189-1192). Richard I, a symbol of heroism and military prowess, is shown gazing upon the hallowed city of Jerusalem, a testament to the religious and historical significance of the crusades. The city, which had been recaptured from the Saracens during the Second Crusade, was a beacon of Christian faith and a source of inspiration for the crusaders. In the foreground, we find Richard I in deep contemplation, his regal bearing and stern expression conveying the gravity of the situation. His shield, emblazoned with the lion emblem, stands as a proud reminder of his English heritage and the strength of his people. Accompanying him is King Philip II of France, a fellow crusader and a significant figure in European history. The two monarchs, united in their quest to protect and expand Christian territories, stand as a testament to the power and unity of the medieval European kingdoms. This print, with its intricate decorative scheme and rich narrative, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Middle Ages. The suggestion of Valhalla, the legendary hall of the Norse gods, adds an element of heroic legend to the scene, further emphasizing the heroic nature of the crusading kings and their unwavering commitment to their faith and their people. The intricate frescoes and ornate details of this print serve as a reminder of the artistic and cultural achievements of the medieval period, a time when the stories of heroic kings and knights were passed down through the ages, inspiring generations to come.
