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 vibrant and humorous illustration captures the essence of Basque pelota, a traditional sport played in the Basque Country. Created for Le Rire magazine in 1903 by an anonymous French artist known as "Gose" this colour lithograph showcases the satirical and social commentary prevalent in early 20th-century cartoons. The scene depicts a lively game of Basque pelota taking place on a court filled with enthusiastic spectators. The players, depicted as caricatures, exhibit exaggerated features and comical expressions that add to the overall amusement of the image. The cartoon-like style adds an element of playfulness to this satirical drawing. Basque pelota is a fast-paced ball game that originated in Spain's Basque region but gained popularity across Europe. This artwork highlights not only the sport itself but also its cultural significance within France during that time period. The combination of bright colors, amusing characters, and witty satire makes this print both visually captivating and socially engaging. It serves as a testament to the power of art to entertain while offering subtle commentary on society. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this illustration continues to delight viewers with its clever portrayal of Basque pelota and its ability to capture moments of humor from history.
