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.

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
Trooping the Colour" is a time-honoured British military tradition that dates back to the 17th century, and this photograph captures the essence of this grand ceremony as it unfolded at Horse Guards Parade in London during the 1920s. The image showcases the meticulous precision and discipline of the Horse Guards, an elite regiment of the British Army, as they perform this ceremonial parade in honour of the monarch's birthday. The Horse Guards, clad in their distinctive scarlet tunics and bearskin hats, are seen lining up in perfect formation, their horses poised and obedient. The regimental band, dressed in their ceremonial uniforms, plays a lively tune, adding to the festive atmosphere. In the foreground, the King's Colour, a regimental flag, is being "trooped," or inspected, by an officer on horseback. This tradition symbolizes the monarch's connection to the military and signifies the readiness of the regiment for battle. The Horse Guards Parade, located in Whitehall, London, is a fitting venue for this grand occasion. Surrounded by historic buildings, including the Horse Guards building and the adjacent 10 Downing Street, the parade grounds provide a picturesque backdrop for this quintessentially British event. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the British military and monarchy. The 1920s, a period of significant social and political change, makes this image even more intriguing, as it captures the essence of a bygone era. The meticulous attention to detail, the sense of tradition, and the palpable sense of pride and discipline make this photograph a captivating testament to the enduring allure of "Trooping the Colour.
