31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 engraving from 1861 titled "Letter L: Ah! I cut myself! But what can I see, o heaven!" by Louis Gustave Fortune Ratisbonne, under the pseudonym Trim, is a whimsical and satirical take on the alphabet. The image features a man with a surprised expression holding a razor in one hand and his bleeding arm in the other, forming the letter L three times. The intricate details of this piece showcase not only Ratisbonne's skill as an engraver but also his clever sense of humor. The combination of beauty products like mirrors and linen with elements of personal hygiene like razors adds depth to the scene, creating a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on society's obsession with appearance. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century France, where education and childhood were intertwined with satire and surprise. The use of satire in this piece serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like shaving can be turned into moments of amazement and wonder. Overall, this print is not just an alphabet illustration but a reflection of societal norms and expectations during that time period. It challenges us to look beyond the surface and find joy in unexpected places.
