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 humorous engraving from the 19th century captures the satirical essence of the state of the Thames River and its tributary. The image, titled "Thames and his Tributary" is a scathing satire that highlights the filth and pollution plaguing these waterways during that time. The cartoon, originally published in Punch magazine in October 1861, depicts Father Thames anxiously observing his polluted river while standing on an embankment. The artist's attention to detail emphasizes the filthy state of the water, with debris floating around and a general air of angst surrounding this subject of general complaint. Through this satirical drawing, viewers are invited to reflect on both the fear and initiative needed to address such environmental issues. The caricature serves as a reminder of society's responsibility towards protecting our natural resources. Blessed with wit and irony, this satirical cartoon by Thwaites offers a glimpse into Victorian society's perception of their polluted river. It showcases how humor can be used as a powerful tool to shed light on pressing matters while entertaining audiences at the same time. This digitally cleaned print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this historical artwork. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of past concerns but also encouraged to take action against present-day pollution challenges faced by rivers worldwide.
