23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the laying of the first stone of the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London by none other than Queen Victoria herself. The golden trowel used by Her Majesty is showcased in all its regal glory, symbolizing the grandeur and importance of this event.
In June 1867, Queen Victoria made her mark on British history as she ceremoniously laid the foundation stone for what would become one of London's most prestigious venues. The intricate details of the trowel, adorned with ornate designs fit for a queen, reflect the opulence and elegance associated with Victorian era craftsmanship.
