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.

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 striking photograph captures a poignant moment from the historic coronation of King George VI in Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937. As the newly crowned monarch takes his throne, the Princes of the Blood Royal, clergy, and peers gather to pay their homage in this grand Gothic setting. The solemnity and reverence of the occasion are palpable as the newly enthroned king looks out over the assembled crowd, marking the formal beginning of his reign. King George VI, who unexpectedly ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, faced numerous challenges during his reign, including the early years of World War II. Yet, this moment, surrounded by the rich history and tradition of Westminster Abbey, represents a hopeful and optimistic start to his tenure as monarch. The intricate architecture of the abbey, with its ornate arches and stained glass windows, serves as a fitting backdrop to this significant event in British history. The coronation of King George VI was a grand affair, attended by hundreds of dignitaries and thousands of citizens, and marked a pivotal moment in the lives of the British people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the pageantry and tradition of a royal coronation, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring symbolism of the monarchy.
