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 vibrant and intriguing print captures a unique piece of 19th-century British culture - the Vinegar Valentine card. With its bold colors and intricate details, this lithograph showcases the cruel yet humorous nature of these insulting greetings cards. The woman depicted in the image is dressed in a typical Victorian fashion, wearing an elaborate hat that adds to her caricature-like appearance. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of her attire, from the exaggerated proportions to the exaggerated features on her face. Vinegar Valentine cards were popular during this era as a means of mocking or teasing someone through rhyme and satire. They were often sent anonymously on Valentine's Day to express disdain or ridicule towards their recipients. This particular card reflects both the wit and cruelty associated with these mock valentines. As we delve into this glimpse of history, it becomes clear how such cards served as a form of entertainment and social commentary within British society at that time. The existence of Vinegar Valentines reminds us that humor can sometimes be found even in moments meant to insult or belittle others. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where unconventional expressions of affection took center stage, challenging our perceptions about love and human interaction. It serves as a testament to how art can capture not only beauty but also complex emotions embedded within cultural traditions.
