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 chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases a daring man riding a penny farthing bicycle into a canal. The image, part of an educational card collection, captures both the humorous and careless nature of this adventurous act. With his reckless abandon, the cyclist is depicted as out of control, embodying foolishness and recklessness. As he plummets towards the water, it's hard not to find amusement in his misfortune. The crashing sound and splashing water create a scene that is both comical and chaotic. The surrounding newspaper clippings suggest that this mishap caught public attention at the time. Perhaps it served as a reminder to others about the dangers of such stunts or simply provided entertainment for those who witnessed it. The setting of this incident takes place on a towpath alongside a picturesque canal. This serene backdrop contrasts with the chaos unfolding before our eyes, adding an element of irony to the scene. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to human curiosity and our willingness to take risks in pursuit of excitement or sport. It reminds us that even in moments of misfortune, there can be laughter found within our own foibles and mishaps.
