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 by Ken Welsh transports us back to the medieval ages, offering a glimpse into the rich history of musical instruments and artistic expression. The image showcases a beggar playing the fiddle while his wife accompanies him with bones, creating a harmonious melody that resonates through time. The monochromatic tones and sketch-like quality of this print evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of the black and white illustrations found in old engravings from the seventeenth century. It is as if we are peering into a window of the past, witnessing an intimate moment between two individuals who find solace in their music despite their humble circumstances. The wooden fiddle held firmly in the beggar's hands speaks volumes about his dedication to his craft. His wife, with her peg leg and skillful use of bones as percussion instruments, adds depth and texture to their performance. Together, they create an enchanting symphony that transcends societal boundaries. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these historical figures but also sheds light on how music has always been a universal language capable of uniting people from different walks of life. This vertical composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in this intriguing scene and imagine what stories lie behind these ancient melodies. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this mesmerizing print serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, creativity can flourish and bring joy to both performers and audiences alike.
