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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique Christmas booklet from the late 19th century that unfolds into the shape of a crucifix. The artwork showcases two young girls, their innocent faces filled with joy as they hold a cat delicately sipping milk from a saucer. Surrounding them are an array of exquisite flowers including roses, lilies, forget-me-nots, and snowdrops. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography highlight the intricate details of this enchanting scene. The composition beautifully blends religious symbolism with elements of childhood innocence and nature's beauty. Created by an English School artist in approximately 1880, this privately owned piece evokes nostalgia for simpler times and traditional holiday customs. It serves as a reminder of the importance of faith during the festive season while also celebrating the joys found in companionship and nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but be transported back to Victorian-era Christmases where such delicate booklets were cherished treasures. This particular artwork is sure to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evoke feelings of warmth and wonderment.
