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 engraving portrays Pope Pius VI, born Count Giovanni Angelo Braschi, during his reign from 1775 to 1799. The image, colored and intricately detailed, showcases the pope in his papal attire, complete with the tiara and papal robes adorned with gold and ermine. Born on December 25, 1717, in Senigallia, Italy, Pius VI was a significant figure in European history during the late 18th century. He assumed the papacy following the death of Clement XIII and faced numerous challenges during his tenure, including the French Revolution and its impact on the Papal States. Despite the tumultuous times, Pius VI remained steadfast in his duties as the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church. He is perhaps best known for his efforts to modernize the Church and for his role in the Quietist controversy, which focused on the relationship between faith and reason. The French Revolution, however, proved to be a major challenge for Pius VI. In 1798, French troops invaded the Papal States, and the pope was forced into exile. He died in Valence, France, on August 29, 1799, at the age of 81. This historic portrait, an engraving from the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the life and times of a remarkable personage. It serves as a reminder of the significant role the papacy played during this period in European history and the enduring influence of the Catholic Church.
