23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
In this evocative photograph taken in 1900, Queen Victoria, the venerable and revered monarch of the British Empire, is seen listening intently to a report being read aloud by her Hindu servant, Munshi Abdul Karim. The scene unfolds in the grandeur of the Queen's private audience chamber, with ornate furnishings and rich fabrics adorning the walls and floor. The Queen, dressed in her regal attire, sits on a high-backed chair, her expression serious and focused as she absorbs the details of a despatch describing the elation of the troops at the services they had rendered to her. Munshi Abdul Karim, a devoted and loyal servant, stands behind the Queen, supporting her frail frame with a steadying hand on her shoulder. His own expression is one of quiet attentiveness, his dark eyes fixed on the document in the Queen's hand. As her secretary and personal attendant, Munshi Abdul Karim was an integral part of the Queen's inner circle, and this intimate moment between them speaks volumes about the deep bond they shared. The photograph captures a poignant moment in history, with the aging Queen receiving news of her subjects' loyalty and devotion, while being supported by her trusted Indian servant. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of the British Empire, with its diverse population and intricate power dynamics. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Victoria, who ruled over an empire on which the sun never set, and the devoted servants who faithfully served her until the very end.
