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
The vibrant colour litho print titled "He called the elephant a dumb beast, or something" captures a delightful moment of amusement and innocence. Created by John Hassall, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for illustrating humorous scenes. Set in a zoological garden, the image depicts a young boy standing before an enormous elephant with awe and wonder in his eyes. The mischievous grin on his face suggests that he has just uttered some cheeky remark about the majestic creature. Perhaps he is playfully teasing the elephant or engaging in light-hearted banter with those around him. Hassall's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this piece. The intricate rendering of the animal's tusks and expressive features adds depth to its character, while simultaneously highlighting the childlike fascination it evokes. This print was originally created as an illustration for Walter Emanuel's book, "The Zoo" published in 1904. It perfectly encapsulates the joyous spirit of childhood and our innate connection with wildlife. "He called the elephant a dumb beast, or something" invites viewers into a world where laughter reigns supreme and animals become sources of endless entertainment. It serves as a reminder that even amidst life's complexities, finding humor can bring us closer together and make everyday moments truly extraordinary.
