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.

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 striking full-length portrait captures the distinguished figure of Robert Waithman (1764-1833), a prominent London merchant, Sheriff, and Lord Mayor. The image, painted in July 1818, showcases Waithman's elegant attire, including a frock coat with metallic buttons and breeches, as well as his fashionable sideburns that were popular during this period. Born in London, Waithman rose through the ranks of the city's mercantile community to become a successful businessman. His political career began in 1802 when he was elected Sheriff of the City of London, a position that signified the pinnacle of civic office below the Lord Mayor. Waithman's tenure as Sheriff was marked by his dedication to charitable causes, including the relief of the poor and the support of various institutions. In 1818, Waithman was appointed Lord Mayor of London, an honor he held with great pride. As Lord Mayor, he presided over the City of London Corporation and represented the city both domestically and abroad. The portrait captures the dignity and authority of Waithman in his official capacity, with his regal posture and the mayoral chain of office prominently displayed around his neck. The portrait is a testament to Waithman's achievements and his significant role in London's civic and commercial life during the early 19th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of London's elite during this period and offers a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and society of the time.
