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.

The Bostonians in Distress - A Glimpse into Revolutionary Turmoil
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mezzotint print, titled "The Bostonians in Distress" offers a poignant visual narrative of the troubled times during the American Revolution. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 18th century, this historic artwork captures the essence of a pivotal moment. Set against a backdrop of towering trees and an ominous sky, we witness a scene filled with tension and despair. Labeled as 'Bostonians, ' these figures are depicted as captives held within a cage-like boat suspended above water. The illustrative technique employed here adds depth to their plight, emphasizing their vulnerability. Intriguingly, armed forces stand guard nearby while sailors row away from the distressed group. Bundles labeled 'promises' and 'liberty papers' lie scattered on the ground, symbolizing broken commitments and dashed hopes for freedom. The retro-styled engraving evokes nostalgia for an era long gone by, transporting us back to those tumultuous times. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our ancestors who fought for independence. Through its aged appearance and traditional artistic style, this vintage print invites us to reflect on history's lessons while appreciating its cultural significance. It is both an artwork that showcases technical skill and an important historical document that sheds light on one chapter of America's struggle for liberty.
