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.

Sir Alexander Cockburn (1802-1880): A Distinguished Scottish Politician and Judge This beautifully colored engraving depicts Sir Alexander Cockburn, a prominent Scottish figure of the 1800s. Born in 1802, Sir Alexander Cockburn rose to prominence as a lawyer, politician, and judge in Britain. He was created a Baronet in 1856 and served as the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench from 1858 until his retirement in 1880. The image, produced by Paris and published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1872, captures Sir Alexander Cockburn in his prime. He is depicted wearing a formal attire, including a bow tie and a barrister's wig, signifying his status as a respected QC (Queen's Counsel) and a leading counsel in the courts of England and Wales. His bald head, a common trait of men of his age during that time, is also visible in the portrait. As a politician, Sir Alexander Cockburn was a member of the Conservative Party and served as the Solicitor General for Scotland from 1852 to 1854. He was known for his strong stance on issues related to law and order and was a vocal advocate for the maintenance of the British legal system. This engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable Scottish figure who left an indelible mark on British history. Sir Alexander Cockburn's legacy as a lawyer, politician, and judge continues to be celebrated in the annals of Scottish and British history.
