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 print showcases a trade card from the 19th century, featuring David Ogilvy & Sons, esteemed wholesale and retail booksellers. The intricate engraving depicts a scene bustling with literary activity. A proud shield bearing Britannia's image stands tall amidst stacks of books, pamphlets, and magazines that adorn the shelves of this magnificent library. Intriguingly, a female figure is prominently displayed in the foreground, symbolizing the growing role of women in literature during this era. She represents not only an avid reader but also signifies the social progressiveness embraced by David Ogilvy & Sons. The trade card serves as a testament to the rich history of book selling and trading in Great Britain. It highlights London's significance as a hub for intellectual exchange and commerce during Victorian times. With its emphasis on both wholesale and retail operations, it reflects how David Ogilvy & Sons catered to various customers - from individual readers seeking subscriptions to libraries requiring bulk orders. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into European culture at large, particularly Germany's influence on British literature. It hints at cross-cultural connections between these two nations through references to German publishers and their impact on English literature. Overall, this print captures not just an advertisement but also encapsulates an entire epoch marked by intellectual curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, gender equality aspirations within literary circles while showcasing historical ties between different European countries
