Crows Garden Furniture The Graphic Inida
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
In this engraving titled "Unwelcome Visitors, Crows at a Tennis Party in India" artist Robert Barnes transports us to a bygone era of colonial India. The scene depicts an elegant tennis party set amidst lush gardens and opulent garden furniture. However, the tranquility is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of mischievous crows. The composition beautifully captures the contrasting elements of leisurely sports and untamed nature. As players engage in their game, their attention is drawn towards the uninvited guests perched on tree branches and peering curiously from above. The crows' presence adds an element of surprise and humor to the otherwise refined gathering. Barnes skillfully employs intricate details to bring out the essence of Indian culture within this artwork. From traditional attire worn by both players and spectators to architectural motifs reminiscent of Indian palaces, every aspect reflects the rich heritage of this vibrant country. This piece originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic magazine in September 1891, showcasing its relevance even over a century later. Through his artistry, Barnes invites us to ponder upon themes such as cultural encounters, human-nature dynamics, and unexpected disruptions that transcend time. "Unwelcome Visitors" serves as a reminder that even amidst carefully planned events or serene settings, life's unpredictability can manifest itself through unwelcome surprises - much like these playful crows interrupting a genteel tennis party in colonial India.
