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
The Right Hon William James Pirrie (colour litho) captures the essence of a powerful and influential figure in the early 20th century. This vibrant and satirical cartoon, created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, was published on January 8th, 1903 in Vanity Fair magazine. William James Pirrie was an esteemed businessman and politician who played a pivotal role in shaping the renowned shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff. The caricature depicts him with exaggerated features that emphasize his authority and influence within the industry. With keen attention to detail, Ward's scathing satire highlights Pirrie's prominent position at Harland and Wolff. The artist skillfully uses humor to critique both Pirrie's power as well as the company itself. This colorful lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century politics and business. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey social commentary while entertaining its audience. The print is part of a private collection but has found its way into Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection for all to appreciate. Its presence allows us to reflect on historical figures like William James Pirrie who left an indelible mark on their respective industries.
