23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of General Charles Gordon (1833-1885), a British military and political figure who made a significant impact on the Sudan during the late 19th century. The photograph, published in Vanity Fair in 1881, shows Gordon in full military regalia, complete with a red fez and a sword at his side. Born in Woolwich, England, Gordon rose through the ranks of the British Army, serving in various capacities in India and China before being appointed as the British Consul in Khartoum, Sudan, in 1855. He gained fame for his successful defense of Khartoum against a Muslim rebellion in 1883, but tragedy struck when the city was besieged and ultimately fell to the Mahdist forces in 1884. Gordon was killed during the siege, becoming a martyr for the British cause in Sudan. Despite his controversial and often divisive actions, Gordon is remembered for his bravery and dedication to the people of Sudan. In this photograph, his steely expression and unwavering gaze convey a sense of resolve and determination that belies the turmoil and uncertainty of the time. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a complex and enigmatic figure who left an indelible mark on the history of the Sudan and the British Empire.
