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
In this print from 1891, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in Russian history. The image showcases a group of distinguished Russian Orthodox priests gathered on the deck of the majestic yacht, Strela. As they perform a solemn ceremony, their richly adorned vestments and ornate crosses reflect the deep-rooted traditions and spirituality of Eastern Orthodoxy. The significance of this occasion becomes even more apparent when we learn that it is none other than Grand Duke Alexis who stands at the forefront of this grand spectacle. A member of the esteemed Romanov dynasty, his presence adds an air of regality to an already awe-inspiring scene. This photograph not only captures a religious ritual but also serves as a testament to Russia's profound connection with its Christian heritage. It reminds us that faith has long played an integral role in shaping both personal beliefs and societal customs. Preserved by Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG), this historical gem allows us to glimpse into a bygone era where religion intertwined with aristocracy, tradition melded with opulence, and spirituality permeated every aspect of life. It invites us to contemplate how these age-old practices continue to shape contemporary society while reminding us that our roots can never be forgotten or forsaken.
