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.

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.

This vintage engraving from 1790, titled "Frontispiece To Reflections On The French Revolution" captures a moment of profound emotion and historical significance. In this illustrative technique, we see the renowned statesman Edmund Burke on bended knee, as though proposing to a vision that appears before him - none other than Marie Antoinette herself. A cherub gently touches his head with a firebrand emitting sparks of romance, symbolizing the passionate nature of their connection. The artwork exudes nostalgia and transports us back to an era when traditional values and historic events shaped our world. With its Victorian charm and aged aesthetic, this antique print offers a glimpse into history's rich tapestry. Through this engraved image, we are reminded of the impact that Burke had on society during the French Revolution. His reflections were influential in shaping public opinion and challenging prevailing ideologies of the time. This frontispiece serves as both a tribute to his intellectual prowess and an emblematic representation of an era marked by turmoil and change. As we gaze upon this retro-styled masterpiece, let us immerse ourselves in its cultural significance. It is not just art; it is a window into history itself – an evocative reminder of how moments captured in engravement can transcend time and continue to inspire generations to come.
