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
This full-length portrait depicts the renowned Scottish historian, William Robertson (1721-1793), as he gazes intently into the distance, lost in thought. The portrait, painted by the skilled hand of John Kay, captures Robertson's intellectual intensity and deep concentration. Robertson was a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, a period of great intellectual and cultural development in Scotland during the 18th century. He is best known for his seminal works in Scottish and world history, including "The History of Scotland," "The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V," and "The History of America." Robertson's historical writings were groundbreaking in their time, as he sought to provide a comprehensive and objective account of historical events. He was also one of the first historians to adopt a comparative approach, analyzing the similarities and differences between various civilizations and cultures. Robertson's work had a profound influence on the development of historical scholarship and helped to establish history as a respected academic discipline. The portrait of Robertson, painted in the mid-18th century, reflects the intellectual and cultural milieu of the time. Robertson's scholarly pursuits and commitment to objective historical analysis were emblematic of the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason, evidence, and the power of the human mind. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Scottish Enlightenment and the important contributions made by its leading figures to the development of modern historical scholarship.
