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 chromolithography print depicts the Grand Prior of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem or Malta, an esteemed figure of the 19th century European chivalric tradition. The Grand Prior, dressed in the full regalia of his office, is shown wearing a black cape and cloak adorned with the distinctive eight-pointed cross of the Order. The cross, known as the Maltese cross, is a symbol of the Order's long and storied history, which dates back to the Crusades and the establishment of the Hospitaller Knights of St. John in Jerusalem. The Grand Prior holds the emblem of his office in his right hand, a golden cross pattée surmounted by a Maltese cross, signifying his position as the highest authority within the Order. The insignia of the Order, including the cross, badge, and collar, are prominently displayed on his chest. The Grand Prior's portrait is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem or Malta, which has its origins as a Catholic military and hospital order. Over the centuries, the Order has played a significant role in the defense of Christendom and the provision of care for the sick and the poor. This chromolithography print, part of the "History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations" series published in Madrid in 1865, offers a glimpse into the ceremonial dress and insignia of the Grand Prior, as well as the heraldic symbolism and the grandeur of the Order's traditions. The image is a reminder of the Order's enduring legacy and its continued relevance in the modern world.
