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
In this photograph, a young and radiant Princess Elizabeth, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen engrossed in her beloved hobby at the window of a room in Buckingham Palace. The year is 1946, and at the age of 20, she is already nurturing the same passion for philately that had been cherished by her father, King George VI, and her grandfather, King George V. The image captures the future monarch's dedication to her collection, as she meticulously examines each stamp with great care and attention. The room is adorned with books and other philatelic materials, reflecting the extensive nature of her interest in stamps. The window provides a serene backdrop, with the sun casting a warm glow on the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and focus. Philately, the collecting of stamps, had long been a popular hobby among the British royal family. It offered a welcome escape from the formalities and responsibilities of royal life, allowing them to connect with people from all walks of life and explore the rich history and diversity of the world. For Princess Elizabeth, this hobby would become an enduring source of joy and relaxation, providing a steadfast companion throughout her long and remarkable reign. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a future monarch, revealing her youthful enthusiasm and the depth of her interests. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, and the enduring appeal of hobbies and passions that transcend the boundaries of time and title.
