31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
In this photograph from 1931, the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor, is seen enjoying a round of golf at the renowned Chiberta golf course in Biarritz, France. The Prince, known for his love of continental Europe and its vibrant social scene, was a frequent visitor to this picturesque resort town during the 1930s. Accompanying the Prince in this image is Lady Victor Paget, formerly Bridget Colebrooke, a talented dress designer. The pair are casually dressed for a day on the links, with the Prince donning a beret, the traditional headwear of the Basque region, which had recently become fashionable among the well-heeled visitors to Biarritz. The Chiberta golf course, with its stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, provided the perfect backdrop for this elegant scene. The Prince's relaxed demeanor and Lady Paget's chic attire reflect the sophisticated and stylish atmosphere of the time. This photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie, offering a glimpse into the glamorous world of the European elite during the 1930s. The Prince's visit to Chiberta golf course in Biarritz was just one of many stops on his extensive travels throughout Europe. His love for the continent and its culture, as well as his penchant for fashionable accessories like the beret, made him a trendsetter and an icon of the era. This evocative image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate audiences and transport us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
