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.

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 Triumph of Music
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the regency era, offering a glimpse into the world of music and satire. Created by Edward Francis Burney in 1820, this artwork showcases his mastery of watercolor, pen and ink techniques on paper. In this scene, we find ourselves behind the scenes of a musical concert, where musicians don tricorn hats and elegant empire dresses. The artist's satirical touch becomes evident as he playfully spoofs the aristocracy through exaggerated caricatures. Gossiping figures whisper false rumors while others indulge in snuff, adding an air of intrigue to the composition. The detailed depiction invites us to explore every corner of this lively setting. The musicians' instruments are skillfully rendered, capturing their passion for music amidst all the commotion. The use of washes adds depth and dimension to each character and object within the frame. As we delve deeper into "The Triumph of Music" it becomes clear that Burney intended not only to entertain but also to critique societal norms with his clever satire. This print serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful tool for commentary throughout history. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection in USA, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its wit and artistic brilliance.
