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
In this evocative photograph, a group of Yeoman Warders, also known as "Beefeaters," are seen making their way to Easter service at St. Peter ad Vincula Chapel in the historic Tower of London. Dated 1936, this image captures a traditional moment in the lives of these iconic guards, who have been maintaining the integrity and security of the Tower since the late 15th century. The Yeoman Warders, dressed in their distinctive Tudor-style uniforms, are seen marching in a procession, led by an officer carrying a large cross. Their red plumed hats and bearskins add a vivid contrast to the grey stone walls of the Tower, creating a striking visual tableau. The men walk with a sense of pride and solemnity, their faces set in determined expressions as they make their way to the chapel for the annual Easter service. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Tower of London, which has served as a royal palace, a prison, and a fortress over the centuries. The chapel, dedicated to St. Peter ad Vincula (Saint Peter in Chains), has been the site of numerous royal weddings, funerals, and other significant ceremonies. The annual inspection by the governor of the Tower, which precedes the Easter service, is an important tradition that dates back to the 16th century. This photograph, with its timeless imagery and historical significance, offers a fascinating window into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era in London's history. The Yeoman Warders, with their proud bearing and unwavering commitment to their duties, continue to be a cherished symbol of the Tower of London's rich heritage and tradition.
