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 vintage engraving captures the essence of one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters, King Lear, portrayed by David Garrick. The 19th-century style and illustrative technique used in this print transport us back to a time when theater was at its peak. Garrick, an English poet and playwright himself, brings his immense talent to the role of Lear, showcasing his ability to embody complex emotions on stage. His portrayal is both regal and vulnerable, capturing the essence of a king who descends into madness as he grapples with betrayal and loss. The detailed engravement beautifully highlights Garrick's expressive face and gestures, allowing us to witness his mastery as an actor even through this static image. It serves as a testament to the power of art in preserving historical moments for generations to come. As we gaze upon this retro-styled piece, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that Shakespeare has bestowed upon us. This nineteenth-century engraving not only pays homage to Garrick's unforgettable performance but also celebrates the enduring legacy of one of history's greatest playwrights. Let this historic artwork serve as a reminder that art transcends time and connects us with our past while inspiring future generations in their artistic pursuits.
