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
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Sergius Stepniak, a Russian revolutionary and author who became an influential voice of the Russian nihilist movement. Born in 1852, Stepniak was a key figure in the underground circles of 19th century Russia, advocating for radical change and social upheaval. Amidst increasing political repression, Stepniak was forced to flee Russia and seek exile in England. He found refuge in the artistic community of Bedford Park, a picturesque area of London known for its distinctive Victorian houses and progressive residents. Here, Stepniak continued his writing, producing seminal works such as "Underground Russia" and "The Revolution in Russia," which offered Western readers a rare glimpse into the world of the Russian revolutionary movement. Despite his controversial past, Stepniak was welcomed into the intellectual circles of London society, mingling with luminaries such as Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. However, his activism and revolutionary ideals never wavered, and he continued to advocate for the cause of Russian democracy, even as the tides of history began to turn in its favor. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures Stepniak in the twilight of his exile, a man who had dedicated his life to the cause of revolutionary change in Russia. With his piercing gaze and intense expression, Stepniak seems to embody the spirit of defiance and determination that characterized the Russian nihilist movement, making this image a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in Russian and world history.
