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 scene unfolds within a fashionable restaurant, where elegantly dressed ladies gather to indulge in delectable treats. The vibrant colours bring to life their exquisite attire, highlighting the ever-evolving fashion trends of that era. As they sit around a beautifully set table, these women find themselves faced with an overwhelming array of culinary options—a true embodiment of embarras du choix. A diligent waiter stands attentively nearby, ready to cater to their every whim. His presence adds an air of sophistication and refinement to the ambiance as he patiently awaits their decision. Intriguingly, this artwork not only captures a momentary dining experience but also reflects broader societal themes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst leisurely activities like eating out, individuals were confronted with decisions that mirrored the complexities and abundance present in their lives. With its meticulous details and impeccable craftsmanship, this enchanting engraving transports us back in time—inviting us to ponder how our own modern-day choices may parallel those faced by our predecessors over two centuries ago.
