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.

The Picts and Scots Checkmated, AD 120
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph by Arthur Moreland that captures a satirical moment in history. Set against the backdrop of Hadrian's Wall, this cartoon-like illustration depicts a comical scene where the Picts and Scots are hilariously blocked from entering Scotland. Dressed in traditional Highland costumes, the Scottish soldiers find themselves faced with an unexpected obstacle - a towering wall manned by Roman soldiers. The exaggerated expressions on their faces convey their frustration as they are kept out of their own land. Meanwhile, the Romans stand triumphantly atop the wall, symbolizing their victory over these persistent invaders. Moreland's clever use of satire adds another layer to this artwork. Through his scathing commentary, he highlights the historical tensions between different cultures within Great Britain while also poking fun at British identity and pride. This print not only showcases Moreland's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of how art can be used to reflect social and political issues. It invites viewers to consider themes such as national identity, barriers, and cultural clashes that have persisted throughout history. Overall, "The Picts and Scots Checkmated" is a whimsical yet thought-provoking piece that offers both entertainment and insight into historical dynamics.
