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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Fisherman and the Porter, or, the Cost of Covetousness" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a historical moment. The image showcases an English School's artistic interpretation of an intriguing story published in The British Workman on June 1st, 1867. In this scene, we witness a fisherman and a porter engaged in what seems to be a heated discussion over their catch of the day. A magnificent turbot lies at their feet as they stand amidst other wildlife creatures that add depth and intrigue to the composition. This artwork beautifully captures not only the mid-19th-century Victorian era but also highlights themes such as greed and its consequences. The tension between these two figures is palpable; it is evident that covetousness has taken hold of them both. As we delve deeper into this narrative, we discover that their disagreement leads to dire repercussions for one party involved. It becomes apparent that sharing would have been wiser than succumbing to selfish desires. "The Fisherman and the Porter" serves as a poignant reminder of how our choices can shape our destiny. Through stunning craftsmanship and intricate details, this print invites us to reflect upon human nature while immersing ourselves in history's rich tapestry.
