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
Meet John Roy, the proud owner of Europe's longest moustache! At 65 years old, he not only carries the legacy of his famous ancestor Rob Roy but also holds a coveted spot in the Guinness Book of Records. This print captures John in all his glory, showcasing his impressive 5-foot-long moustache that has become a symbol of both tradition and eccentricity. As the esteemed Landlord of 'The Cock, ' a beloved public house nestled in Beazley End near Braintree, Essex, John is no stranger to attention. His striking appearance, complete with a kilt and glasses perched on his nose, adds an element of humor to this remarkable portrait from May 26th, 1975. While some may argue that there is an Indian contender with an even longer moustache measuring at 8 feet long, it is undeniable that John's facial hair remains unmatched within European borders. With every twirl and curl meticulously maintained over the years, he continues to captivate audiences far and wide. This snapshot from the vibrant era of the 1970s showcases one senior man who defies convention and embraces individuality with pride. So let us raise our glasses (preferably at 'The Cock') to celebrate this extraordinary gentleman whose unique style has left an indelible mark on history.
