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 print captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Hamlet. In Act I, Scene IV, we witness the enigmatic Prince Hamlet encountering his father's ghost on the haunting battlements of Elsinore Castle. Illustrated by the talented Robert Dudley during his active years between 1858 and 1893, this chromolithograph was published in London between 1856 and 1858. The image transports us to the heart of Shakespearean drama as we observe Hamlet's profound astonishment upon seeing his deceased father's spirit. The intricate details of Dudley's illustration bring to life the eerie atmosphere surrounding Elsinore Castle, with its towering walls and moonlit sky adding an extra layer of mystery to this iconic scene. As one of literature's greatest tragedies, Hamlet explores themes of revenge, madness, and existentialism that continue to resonate with audiences today. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy in English literature and British theatre. Preserved by Archive at Universal Images Group (UIG), this remarkable print offers a glimpse into both artistic prowess and theatrical history.
