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
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi, in his old age as he contemplates the serene waters of Venice's iconic Grand Canal. Taken in 1901, the image finds Verdi, dressed in a heavy cloak and wearing a thick beard, leaning on a wooden cane as he gazes out at the gondola gliding gently through the water in the background. Verdi's profound connection to Italy's rich musical heritage is palpable in this poignant moment, as the composer, who was born in 1813, reflects on the remarkable journey of his life and career. Verdi's influence on the world of opera is immeasurable, with his works continuing to captivate audiences around the globe more than a century after they were first performed. Among his most famous operas are "La Traviata," "Rigoletto," "Aida," and "Il Trovatore," which have become cornerstones of the operatic repertoire. The gondola in the background, a quintessential symbol of Venice, serves as a poignant reminder of the composer's deep love for his native land. Verdi spent much of his life in Milan, but he maintained a strong connection to Venice, which is reflected in several of his operas, including "Otello" and "Falstaff." As Verdi gazes out at the gondola, one can almost hear the strains of his beloved music wafting through the air, a testament to the enduring power of his artistic genius. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on the history of music, and invites us to reflect on the beauty and richness of Italy's cultural heritage.
