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
Laura de Noves, also known as Donna Laura, was a woman of enchanting beauty and tragic fate, immortalized in the sonnets of the great Italian poet Francesco Petrarch. Born in 1310, Laura lived in Avignon, Provence, during the 14th century. Her story began when she captured the heart of King Gunther XXI of Schwarzburg, a German monarch, who was visiting Avignon. However, their love was doomed due to the objections of the king's family and societal norms. This image of Laura is a chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration is based on a church wall fresco now housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, created the lithograph. In the image, Laura is depicted wearing a splinted armor, a great helm, a tunic, and a coat adorned with her arms and escutcheon. Her grave effigy, which can be seen in the Frankfurter Dom (Cathedral), is also represented. Laura is shown carrying a sword and wearing chainmail, reflecting the fashion of the time. The heraldry on her arms and escutcheon further emphasize her noble status. Laura's tragic story has been a source of inspiration for artists and writers throughout history, including Petrarch, who wrote sonnets dedicated to her memory. Her image continues to fascinate us today, as a symbol of love, beauty, and the passage of time.
