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 historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for James K. Polk as he is inaugurated as the 11th President of the United States on March 4, 1845. Polk, a Democrat from Tennessee, emerged victorious in the contentious presidential election of 1844, defeating his formidable Whig Party rival, Henry Clay, in a close race. The inauguration took place on the east portico of the United States Capitol in Washington D.C., with a large crowd gathered to witness the momentous occasion. Polk's election marked a significant turning point in American history. He is best known for leading the United States in the Mexican-American War, which resulted in the acquisition of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma. These new territories would eventually become states, expanding the United States' territory and influence. The photograph shows a confident and determined Polk, dressed in a formal suit and top hat, taking the oath of office from Chief Justice John Tyler. Surrounding him are members of his cabinet, including Secretary of State James Buchanan and Secretary of the Treasury Robert J. Walker. Henry Clay, the defeated Whig candidate, can be seen standing in the background, acknowledging the new president with a gracious nod. This photograph is a testament to the democratic process and the peaceful transfer of power in American history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, determination, and unity in the face of adversity. The events of 1845 marked a pivotal moment in American expansion and set the stage for the country's continued growth and development.
