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 image showcases a charging knight from the 12th and 13th centuries, meticulously depicted in intricate detail through a beautiful copperplate engraving by J. Hamilton, taken from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812 by Stockdale. The knight is magnificently armored, clad in a hawberk, a type of chainmail armor that covers the chest, arms, and back, but leaves the sides open. His flat helmet, with a narrow visor and no nasal guard, sits securely on his head, while his shin armour jambesons protect his legs. The knight's steed, adorned with a chanfron and scale mail, charges forward, its hooves poised to strike the ground. The knight holds a lance in his right hand, its tip pointed towards the unseen enemy, while his left hand grips the heater shield, its rounded shape offering protection against arrows and other projectiles. The knight's determination and readiness for battle are palpable, encapsulating the spirit of the medieval warrior. Francis Grose, a renowned antiquarian and military historian, meticulously documented various aspects of military history, including armor and weaponry, in his "Military Antiquities." This engraving is a testament to the meticulous research and attention to detail that Grose brought to his work, providing a fascinating glimpse into the armor and weaponry of the English army during the 12th and 13th centuries.
