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.

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 captures the essence of the beloved Christmas carol, "Good King Wenceslas" in a stunning illustration from A Picture Song Book dating back to 1910. Created by George Howard, the 9th Earl of Carlisle, this colour lithograph depicts the heartwarming scene of Good King Wenceslas himself. Intriguingly, this illustration portrays Saint Venceslas as a young man carrying a heavy load of logs on his back through snowy footprints. The image beautifully conveys warmth and compassion as he braves the cold to help those less fortunate. This depiction pays homage to Saint Venceslas' legacy as Duke of Bohemia and patron saint of Bohemia since the 11th century. The vibrant colours used in this artwork bring life to every detail - from the boy's rosy cheeks to his determined expression while assisting others. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, acts of kindness can warm hearts and inspire hope. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported into an era where Christmas carols echoed through homes filled with joy and love. It reminds us that traditions like these have stood the test of time and continue to touch our souls today. This extraordinary piece is part of a private collection but remains accessible for all to admire its historical significance and artistic beauty. Let it serve as an emblematic representation not only for Good King Wenceslas but also for humanity's enduring spirit in spreading goodwill throughout generations.
