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 photograph, taken in 1934, showcases the final touches being applied to the magnificent wedding cake created for the Duke of Kent, George, and his bride-to-be, Princess Marina of Greece. The towering confection, which stood an impressive 9 feet high, was a true testament to the grandeur of the royal wedding. The cake, adorned with intricate silver pillars, was a masterpiece of both taste and appearance. It was not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a culinary delight, as it contained a variety of Empire ingredients, including Greek currants, which held special significance for the bride's Greek heritage. Seven gold charms were also incorporated into the cake, adding an extra touch of elegance and tradition to the occasion. The history of the royal wedding cake can be traced back to the 17th century, where it was customary for the bride and groom to place a small figurine of a couple on top of the cake to ensure a long and happy marriage. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for Illustrated London News, provides a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of the wedding cake in the royal wedding of George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece in 1934. The image is a reminder of the rich traditions and customs that continue to be an essential part of royal weddings to this day.
