23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 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
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, for a wild ride into the absurd! Behold this vintage postcard from the 1920s, showcasing an outrageous mock-up of elephant hunting in Ceylon/Sri Lanka. Prepare to have your jaws drop and your laughter erupt as we delve into the world of bizarre imagination! In this comical scene frozen in time, hunters transform into giants towering over their unsuspecting prey - majestic elephants. With exaggerated expressions of determination on their faces, these 'hunters' seem ready to take on the challenge of bagging an elephant like never before. But wait! Is that a poacher lurking in the background? Oh dear, it seems even our mock-up hunters aren't safe from unexpected surprises. Perhaps he's trying to steal their thunder or just looking for some laughs himself! This whimsical postcard reminds us that sometimes reality can be twisted and turned into something delightfully ridiculous. It's a playful reminder that not everything is what it seems - especially when it comes to hunting big game. So let's embrace this momentary escape from seriousness and revel in the sheer absurdity captured within this photo print. After all, who says hunting has to be all about death and danger? Sometimes it's just about having a good laugh at life's quirks.
