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
In this print titled "Capping a Proctor, or Oxford Bull dogs detecting Brazen Smugglers" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Oxford University. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1824, this hand-colored engraving captures a humorous and mischievous scene. The image showcases two miscreant scholars named Tom Echo and Horace Eglantine attempting to lower a basket from their window to collect fresh food. However, their illicit activity is abruptly interrupted as they are discovered by an authoritative figure - the Proctor - accompanied by the Town Marshall. The startled expressions on the faces of both students reveal that they have been caught red-handed. This Georgian-era cartoon provides us with a glimpse into the secret world of smuggling within academic institutions. The clever use of bulldogs symbolizes these vigilant enforcers who sniff out any misdemeanors committed by students. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element present: from the mortar board caps worn by the students, signifying their scholarly pursuits, to their flowing gowns that identify them as members of Oxford University. This street scene comes alive through Cruikshank's skillful engraving technique, offering us a delightful visual narrative. As part of The Stapleton Collection and now housed in private ownership, this enchanting piece reminds us not only of past customs but also how humor can be found even in moments where one's actions may lead them astray.
