31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print captures a pivotal moment in history on the remote island of St Helena in 1816. Governor Hudson Lowe, the British official responsible for overseeing Napoleon Bonaparte's exile, is seen allowing the former French Emperor to engage in conversation with a British admiral. However, Governor Lowe insists on being present during their discussion.
The tension and intrigue of this historical scene are palpable as Napoleon, exiled and stripped of his power, attempts to assert himself even in conversation with a high-ranking British officer. The body language and expressions of all three figures tell a story of power dynamics and political maneuvering.
Napoleon's gaze is intense and focused, while Governor Lowe appears stern and watchful. The British admiral seems slightly uncomfortable or perhaps wary of the situation unfolding before him. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex relationships and events that shaped this period in history.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this momentous occasion with clarity and detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this fascinating piece of historical documentation. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by one of history's most enigmatic figures - Napoleon Bonaparte - even during his years in exile on St Helena.
