23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts the eldest son of the Chinese Emperor, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Old Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan. The Emperor's son, dressed in traditional Chinese robes, sits comfortably on a garden bench, smoking a tobacco pipe in the company of his wife. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the presence of his wife, who delicately plucks the strings of her pipa, a traditional Chinese musical instrument. An attendant, dressed in elegant Chinese attire, stands nearby, adding to the sense of refinement and elegance. The Old Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan, was a grand imperial garden and palace complex located in Beijing, China. It was renowned for its beautiful gardens, palaces, and lakes, and was a favorite retreat for the Chinese imperial family. This engraving, taken from the seminal work 'China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc.' by Henri-Leonard Jeans Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton, provides a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of the Chinese imperial family during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the clothing, the setting, and the expressions on the faces of the figures in the engraving are all testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the painstaking process of creating a hand-colored copperplate engraving.
