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
This exquisite black and white portrait captures the radiant beauty and grace of Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon on her wedding day to Prince Albert, Duke of York, in 1923. The Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is depicted in her bridal veil, a traditional symbol of purity and modesty, as she steps into the next chapter of her life as a royal bride. The portrait was specially drawn for The Bystander Wedding Number by renowned British artist Alan Stern. The Bystander was a popular weekly magazine known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of social and political events. Stern's intricate and detailed drawing captures the essence of the historic moment, with the Duchess's elegant bridal gown, her delicate veil adorned with pearls, and the grandeur of Westminster Abbey in the background. The wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York took place on April 26, 1923, and marked the beginning of a long and significant relationship between the royal family and the Bowes-Lyon family. The Duchess, who was the youngest daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, brought a fresh and modern energy to the royal family, and her popularity endured throughout her long life. She went on to become the mother of the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, and the grandmother of the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. This beautiful portrait is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments, and serves as a reminder of the significance of the Duchess of York's role in the history of the British monarchy.
