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
1. Title: A Controversial Figure in 17th Century England: Dr. John Bastwick, Puritan Physician and Writer Dr. John Bastwick (1593-1654), an English Puritan physician and writer, is depicted in this striking portrait, wearing a simple lacy collar. Born in London, Bastwick was a man of considerable intellect and conviction, who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge in both medicine and theology. Bastwick's medical career began in the early 17th century, and he quickly gained a reputation as a skilled physician. However, it was his writing that would ultimately bring him both fame and infamy. A devout Puritan, Bastwick used his pen to challenge the established religious and political order of his time. He wrote and published numerous works criticizing the Church of England and advocating for the separation of church and state. One of Bastwick's most notable publications was his "An Humble Supplication," which was a scathing attack on the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud. This work earned Bastwick the wrath of the authorities, and he was arrested and brought to trial in 1637. Despite the risks, Bastwick continued to write and publish, even while in prison. Despite the danger, Bastwick's writings found a wide audience among the Puritan community, and he became a hero to many. However, his outspokenness ultimately led to his downfall. In 1638, Bastwick was tried and sentenced to death for blasphemy and sedition. He was hanged at Tyburn, becoming a martyr for the Puritan cause. This portrait of Dr. John Bastwick captures the intensity and conviction of a man who was not afraid to challenge the status quo, even at the risk of his own life. His legacy as a Puritan physician and writer continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and historians to this day.
