Guild Heraldic Pitcher Heraldry

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
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 18th century, known as the "Blackjack jug". Crafted out of leather in 1712 by an unknown English School artist, this exquisite piece is now housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum, located within the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The Blackjack jug holds great historical significance as it was created for and associated with the Joiners Company of Oxford. Its intricate design features elements of heraldry and coat of arms, symbolizing both prestige and craftsmanship. The pitcher-like vessel stands tall, emanating elegance and grandeur. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when artisans meticulously crafted objects that not only served practical purposes but also celebrated their guilds' identity. The fine details on display here reflect skilled workmanship and attention to detail. As we admire this stunning photograph print, let us appreciate how art can transcend time and bring history alive before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like jugs can hold stories worth preserving. This particular Blackjack jug tells tales of tradition, skillful craftsmanship, and pride in one's trade – all encapsulated within its beautifully adorned leather exterior.
