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
In this photograph from the 1940s, we witness a moment of cultural exchange and diplomatic significance. The image showcases Dr Chen Tien Hsi, the Chinese Ambassador to Great Britain, alongside his daughter Ying Wan Cheng as they carefully examine some of China's wedding presents to Princess Elizabeth and Phillip Mountbatten. The Royal couple was bestowed with an array of exquisite gifts that symbolized the deep ties between China and Britain. Among them was a stunning Chinese silk wedding dress, representing elegance and tradition. Additionally, a case filled with fragrant China tea served as a reminder of the country's rich heritage in tea cultivation. However, it is the sight of approximately 200 pieces of delicate china that truly captivates our attention. These intricately designed bowls and plates embody craftsmanship at its finest. Each piece tells a story through its ornate patterns and meticulous details – an embodiment of both beauty and functionality. This snapshot serves as a testament to the importance placed on diplomacy during significant events such as royal weddings. It reminds us that beyond political alliances lie connections forged by culture, artistry, and shared traditions. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how even seemingly small gestures can strengthen bonds between nations for generations to come.
