31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photograph captures a piece of history in the form of the Prince of Wales Investiture Medal from 1911. The medal, produced for the investiture event at Carnarvon Castle in North Wales, showcases intricate details on its obverse side. Little did anyone know at the time that the young prince depicted on this medal would later become Edward VIII and eventually abdicate his throne to become the Duke of Windsor.
The significance of this medal lies not only in its exquisite design but also in its connection to a pivotal moment in British history. The investiture ceremony marked a turning point for Edward, who would go on to have a tumultuous reign as king before ultimately stepping down from his duties.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when royalty held immense power and influence over society. The import of this historical artifact cannot be understated, serving as a tangible reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten.
Through this photograph, we are given a glimpse into the past and invited to reflect on how much has changed since Edward's investiture in 1911. It is truly a treasure trove of history captured within one frame.
