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.

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
In this print from the 19th century, we witness the coronation of King Henry IV of England, an event that took place on August 13, 1413, although the print incorrectly states the year as 1415. King Henry, depicted in an unusual and comical manner, dons a massive crown adorned with intricate designs and precious stones. He wears a suit of armor, complete with a helmet and a crows nest-like cravat, or cracows, around his neck. The king's sunglasses add an unexpected modern touch to this medieval scene. The ceremony unfolds in the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey, where bishops in their ceremonial robes and mitres officiate. Pages, clad in livery, hold the king's coat of arms, helm, and sword. Knights in plate armor stand guard, their shields bearing the insignia of the Trinity. The print, an intricately hand-colored steel engraving, is based on an illustration by John Leech, created for Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England. The caricatured style adds a touch of humor to the historical event, making it an engaging and entertaining representation of King Henry IV's coronation. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, blending history and whimsy. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the coronation of King Henry IV and the rich tapestry of England's regal history.
