17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 the 1930s, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900-2002), is seen enjoying a day at the Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon with American tennis champion Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998). The Duchess, who was the wife of the Duke of York and the future monarch of the United Kingdom, is dressed elegantly in a long-sleeved white blouse and a flowing skirt, accessorized with a hat and gloves. She is seen holding a pair of sunglasses in her hand, shielding her eyes from the sun. Behind the Duchess stands Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein (1872-1956), who adds an air of regal sophistication to the scene. The focus of the photograph, however, is on the two women in the foreground. Helen Wills Moody, a professional tennis player and a dominant force in women's tennis during the 1920s and 1930s, is dressed in a white tennis outfit and is holding her tennis racquet. She is seen looking intently at the Duchess, perhaps sharing a moment of camaraderie or discussing tennis strategy. The Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, which began in 1877, is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. The Duchess's attendance at the event in 1935 reflects her interest in sports and her support for women's tennis. The photograph captures a moment of leisure and relaxation for these two influential women, showcasing their shared love for the game and their grace and elegance both on and off the court.
