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.

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 Introduction of Printing - A Humorous Take on a Historical Milestone
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "The Introduction of Printing. A. D. 1473" captures the essence of a significant moment in history with a playful twist. Created by Arthur Moreland in 1905 as an illustration for Humors of History, this satirical cartoon brings to life the advent of printing during the fifteenth century. In this whimsical scene, we see William Caxton, the English printer credited with introducing the printing press to England, engaged in a lively game of chess with his German counterpart. The artist's clever use of visual humor adds an extra layer to this historical event, as both men strategize their moves while surrounded by stacks of printed materials and various printing tools. Moreland's caricatured portrayal not only highlights the cultural differences between England and Germany but also pokes fun at certain stereotypes associated with each nation. The exaggerated features and expressions add a touch of satire to this light-hearted depiction. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this print is not just an amusing piece but also serves as a reminder that even significant historical moments can be approached from different angles. It invites viewers to appreciate history through laughter while acknowledging the impact that printing has had on society since its introduction over five centuries ago.
