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
This print showcases the cover of the "Standard of Empire". Annual for 1912 - 1913, exuding a jingoistic sentiment. The image features Britannia, symbolizing Great Britain's power and influence, seated in a majestic chariot drawn by the mighty British lion. Against a backdrop depicting scenes from various corners of the Empire including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, this artwork encapsulates the essence of colonialism during that era. The full-length portrayal captures Britannia holding a shield adorned with the Union Jack flag while brandishing a lance high above her head. Her resolute gaze reflects both strength and determination as she leads her empire towards prosperity. The landscape surrounding her is richly detailed and evokes historical significance. This photograph transports us back to early 20th-century British culture and craftsmanship. It serves as an artistic representation of history through its use of Western script on the cover page. The image highlights not only one woman but also one animal – emphasizing Britannia's dominance over both land and beast. Displayed outdoors under daylight conditions adds authenticity to this vintage piece. While it is important to note that this print does not pertain to any specific company or commercial use, it undoubtedly offers viewers an opportunity to delve into our shared past and appreciate artistry that once celebrated imperial might.
