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 captivating print titled "He shall have little for his pains / Who makes his living by his brains" by Martin Anderson, also known as Cynicus, is a thought-provoking piece that combines humor and intellect. This early 20th-century postcard depicts the struggle of earning a living solely through mental effort. In this whimsical image, we see various birds engaging in intellectual activities such as picking at a skull symbolizing brainwork. The artist cleverly highlights the lack of remuneration for these endeavors, emphasizing the irony that despite their mental prowess, these creatures receive little reward. Through its comic portrayal of animals engaged in brain work, this artwork raises questions about the value society places on intellectual pursuits. It challenges us to consider whether our efforts are adequately recognized and rewarded. Anderson's use of vibrant colors and attention to detail adds an amusing touch to this unusual scene. The juxtaposition of wild birds engaging in human-like behavior creates an entertaining visual narrative that sparks both amusement and contemplation. "He shall have little for his pains / Who makes his living by his brains" serves as a reminder not only to appreciate the importance of intellectual labor but also to question societal norms surrounding recognition and reward.
