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
This evocative photograph captures the profound intensity of Pope Pius X (1835-1914), born Giuseppe Sarto, as he writes a letter or document in the Apostolic Palace during his papacy from 1903 to 1914. The image reveals the deep concentration and dedication of the humble and pious man who became the 259th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Born in Riese, Italy, Sarto was ordained a priest in 1858 and served as a parish priest, a bishop, and an archbishop before being elected Pope in 1903. Known for his commitment to the reform of the Church, Pius X introduced significant changes to the liturgy, the curriculum of seminaries, and the Code of Canon Law. This photograph is a testament to the man behind the title, revealing the human side of the Pope as he engages in the daily tasks of leading the Catholic Church. The image also highlights the simplicity and austerity that characterized Pius X's papacy, with the plain surroundings and the Pope's modest attire reflecting his focus on spiritual matters and his dedication to serving the faithful. Saint Pius X was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1954, and he is now revered as a model of holiness and a champion of the faith. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the life of this extraordinary man, capturing the essence of his priesthood and his papacy.
