Laughter Ugliness

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 intriguing engraving titled "An Ugly Valentine" captures a humorous and slightly unsettling scene from the 19th century. The image depicts a man dressed in elaborate costume, holding a drink in one hand and looking rather unattractive with exaggerated features. The detailed engraving showcases the man's ugliness in a comical way, with his bulging eyes, crooked nose, and misshapen mouth eliciting laughter from those around him. Despite his less-than-appealing appearance, he seems to be enjoying himself as he presents what is presumably meant to be a Valentine's Day gift. The black and white aesthetic of the print adds to its vintage charm and historical significance. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past, allowing them to imagine what life was like during this time period. Overall, this print serves as both an amusing depiction of ugliness and an interesting snapshot of 19th-century culture. It reminds us that humor has always been present throughout history, even in unexpected forms such as this peculiar Valentine's Day scene.
