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
The First Lady in India: Lady Hardinge of Penshurst, 1910 This formal studio portrait captures Lady Hardinge of Penshurst, Winifred Selina Sturt, in her elegant gown and pearls, as she prepared to embark on a journey to India with her husband, Lord Hardinge, who was appointed as the new Viceroy of India in 1910. Lady Hardinge's role was not only that of a supportive wife but also one of great significance, as she was to occupy a position of honor and responsibility, akin to that of a Queen-Consort. Born in 1868, Lady Hardinge was a woman of remarkable intellect and compassion. Her influence extended beyond her social duties, as she played a pivotal role in starting the Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi, the first medical school exclusively for women in India. Originally intended to be named Queen Mary's College and Hospital, after Lady Hardinge's death in 1914, it was renamed in her honor to acknowledge her invaluable contribution to Indian society. The colonial era of the early 20th century, during which this photograph was taken, was marked by the expansion of the British Empire. Lady Hardinge's presence in India during this period symbolized the intersection of British imperial power and the Indian social fabric. This portrait, with its timeless elegance and the intriguing historical context, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on Indian history.
