FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 portrait depicts Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Augustus, better known as Roman Emperor Aurelian (214-275 AD). The image is a copperplate engraving taken from "De Roomsche Monarchy," a 17th-century publication by Abraham Bogaert and Francois Salm. Aurelian's regal demeanor and piercing gaze convey the power and authority of the Roman Emperor during a time of great turmoil and transition. Born in Sirmium, in the province of Pannonia, Aurelian rose to power during the chaos of the third century AD, a period marked by political instability and military coups. He is best known for his military victories against the Germanic tribes, particularly the Goths and the Sassanids, and for his religious reforms, which included the establishment of the Temple of Sol Invictus in Rome. The portrait bears the influence of classical Roman art, with Aurelian depicted wearing the traditional imperial attire, including a laurel wreath and a toga. The engraving technique, popular during the 17th century, allowed for intricate detail and a high degree of realism, making this image an invaluable historical record of Aurelian's appearance and legacy. Comparing this portrait to other depictions of Roman Emperors, such as those of Tacitus, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, or Augustus, reveals the unique characteristics that set Aurelian apart. The copperplate engraving not only serves as a visual representation of the emperor but also as a tangible link to the past, offering insights into the political, social, and artistic climate of ancient Rome.
