17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print from May 1988, we are transported back to the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall. The image captures a momentous occasion - the Mayor Making ceremony that marked the beginning of an important chapter for both the town and its newly installed leader, Dennis Hutchings. Dressed in resplendent mayoral robes adorned with intricate chains and donning a distinguished top hat, Councillor Hutchings exudes an air of authority and civic pride. His bicorn hat adds a touch of regality to his appearance, symbolizing tradition and heritage deeply rooted in Cornish culture. This photograph not only commemorates Mayor Hutchings' tenure but also holds special significance as it was during his term that Her Majesty The Queen graced Lostwithiel with her presence in 1989. This visit undoubtedly brought immense honor and excitement to both Mayor Hutchings personally and the entire community he represented. Through the lens of photographer Jonathan Barker, this image immortalizes a moment when history converged with contemporary affairs. It serves as a testament to the enduring traditions of Cornwall's civic life while capturing the essence of ceremonial grandeur associated with such prestigious positions. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print invites us to reflect upon our rich cultural heritage and reminds us how individuals like Mayor Dennis Hutchings play pivotal roles in shaping our communities through their dedication and service.
