17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897): A Renowned British Artist Examining an Album of Engravings Sir John Gilbert, a celebrated British artist of the Victorian era, is depicted in this evocative photograph as he intently examines an album filled with engravings. The year is uncertain, but the image dates back to the late 19th century, a period when Gilbert's artistic career was at its zenith. Born in London in 1817, Gilbert was a prolific painter, best known for his historical and allegorical works. His mastery of the human form and his ability to capture the essence of historical scenes made him a favorite among the aristocracy and the public alike. This intimate photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the artist, revealing his deep engagement with the world of engravings. Engravings were an essential part of the artistic process during the 19th century. They served as a bridge between painting and printmaking, allowing artists to reproduce their works in multiple copies for wider distribution. Gilbert's close examination of the engravings suggests that he was either seeking inspiration for a new work or evaluating potential subjects for future paintings. The album, now a relic of history, holds a wealth of visual treasures that once inspired some of the most iconic works of the Victorian era. The photograph captures the essence of Sir John Gilbert's dedication to his craft, reminding us of the importance of visual research and the enduring power of artistic inspiration.
