FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
1. Title: Thomas Pennant, Antiquary, Naturalist, and Traveller Extraordinaire of the United Kingdom Thomas Pennant (1726-1798), a renowned figure in British history, is depicted in this portrait. Born on March 25, 1726, in Downing Town, Cheshire, Pennant dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge in the realms of antiquities, natural history, and travel. Pennant's insatiable curiosity led him to explore the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, meticulously documenting his discoveries in a series of books that remain invaluable sources of topographical information to this day. His works, which include "A Tour in Scotland," "A Tour in Wales," and "A General History of Quadrupeds," provide unique insights into the history, culture, and natural wonders of the United Kingdom during the late 18th century. As an antiquary, Pennant was deeply interested in the study of ancient monuments, inscriptions, and other historical relics. He believed that these relics offered a window into the past, allowing us to understand the lives and customs of our ancestors. His meticulous records of ancient sites and structures have been instrumental in the preservation and appreciation of Britain's rich heritage. As a naturalist, Pennant made significant contributions to the study of zoology. He was particularly interested in quadrupeds, or four-footed animals, and his comprehensive work, "A General History of Quadrupeds," is considered a seminal text in the field. Pennant's observations and illustrations of various species helped advance scientific knowledge and laid the groundwork for future research. In this photograph, Thomas Pennant, with his keen intellect and intrepid spirit, stands as a testament to the power of curiosity and the importance of documenting the world around us. His legacy continues to inspire generations of scholars, naturalists, and travelers, reminding us of the wonders that lie hidden in the corners of our own backyards.
