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 handcolored engraving, titled "Royalist or Cavalier," is an exquisite illustration from the time of the Commonwealth in England (1659-1660), drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin. The father-son duo were renowned artists in their own right, following in the footsteps of their famous father, John Martin, a romantic artist and mezzotint engraver. The image showcases a Royalist or Cavalier, an ardent supporter of the monarchy during the English Civil War. The man wears a buff jacket, a popular choice among the Cavaliers, adorned with slashed sleeves, revealing the lining beneath. The jacket is paired with scarlet breeches, a color associated with the monarchy. The boots, reaching up to the knees, are adorned with buckles, while a pair of gloves completes the lower attire. The upper part of the outfit consists of a plumed hat, a symbol of rank and status, and a white shirt with a ruff collar. The man's attire is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era, a stark contrast to the simpler styles of the Commonwealth period. The intricate details of the costume, from the folds of the fabric to the textures of the materials, are beautifully captured in the handcoloring. The illustration was drawn from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy make this engraving an invaluable addition to any collection of 17th-century English costume and social history.
