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 evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the 10th century history of Britain, as King Edgar of England (circa 943-975), also known as the Peaceful or Peaceable King, gathers the allegiance of other British monarchs on the banks of the River Dee. Edgar's coronation did not take place until 973, and this significant event transpired shortly afterwards at Chester. Six kings, including the King of Scotland and the King of Strathclyde, pledged their faith that they would be Edgar's liege-men on both sea and land. In this scene, these monarchs are depicted rowing in Edgar's state barge, symbolizing their unity and commitment to the new king. The peaceful waters of the River Dee reflect the harmony and tranquility that Edgar aimed to bring to the realm. Chroniclers of the time recorded this historic event, and this image offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political alliances and the power of the monarchy in medieval Britain.
