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
Solemnity of the World: On the Way to a Flower Festival (Solemnity of the World: On the Way to the Flower Festival. Date: 1837) captures an enchanting moment in time as a lady, elegantly dressed in her finest attire, makes her way to a flower festival with an aviator, who holds the reins of a magnificent hot air balloon adorned with garlands and festooned with floral decorations. The serene expression on the lady's face contrasts with the excitement and wonder in her eyes as she gazes up at the colorful balloon, which is reminiscent of a blimp or a dirigible. The Solemnity of the World, also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, was a significant religious celebration in the 19th century. This image, however, showcases a more secular interpretation of the event, as people from all walks of life came together to celebrate the beauty of nature and the joy of community. The aviator's innovative use of powered airships, such as hot air balloons, added a sense of adventure and modernity to the festivities. The vibrant colors of the balloon's decorations, the delicate petals of the flowers, and the clear blue sky create a harmonious blend of art and nature, making this photograph a visual feast for the senses. The Solemnity of the World: On the Way to a Flower Festival is a captivating reminder of the enchantment and wonder that surrounded such celebrations in the past, and it continues to inspire awe and admiration in viewers even today.
