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 oval portrait depicts the renowned English statesman and diarist, Samuel Pepys (1633-1703). The image, created around the year of his death, captures Pepys in the prime of his later years. He is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, wearing a lacy shirt and a voluminous curly wig. The historical context of the portrait is further emphasized by the Latin inscription below, which translates to "Samuel Pepys, Esq., Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Navy, 1673-1689." Pepys is best known for his detailed and revealing diary, which he meticulously kept from 1660 to 1669. The diary provides a unique insight into the political, social, and cultural history of the Restoration period in England. Pepys held various important positions in the Navy and the Admiralty, and his influence extended beyond his official roles. He was a key figure in the scientific revolution, supporting the work of Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, and was an early proponent of the Royal Society. Despite his significant contributions to history, Pepys' personal life was not without scandal. He was involved in several extramarital affairs, which were detailed in his diary. However, his honesty and candor have made his diary an invaluable resource for historians and scholars. This curly, wigged, and inscribed oval portrait of Samuel Pepys is a testament to his historical significance and serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of England during the Restoration period.
