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
This vintage poster, titled "Poster Advertising the Theatrophone" by Jules Cheret, takes us back to a time when technology and entertainment merged in an extraordinary way. The image showcases a dapper gentleman wearing a top hat and sporting an impeccably groomed moustache, but what truly catches the eye is the telephone cleverly integrated into his headwear. Intriguingly avant-garde for its time, this artwork serves as an advertisement for the revolutionary invention known as the Theatrophone. Developed in France during the late 19th century, this groundbreaking device allowed individuals to listen to live performances from theaters and opera houses through their telephones. It was a remarkable innovation that brought distant cultural experiences right into people's homes. Cheret's artistic brilliance shines through in this piece with his vibrant color palette and dynamic composition. The bold red background contrasts beautifully with the man's elegant attire, drawing attention to both him and the telephone atop his hat. This visual juxtaposition symbolizes how technology can seamlessly blend into our lives while adding flair and sophistication. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's constant quest for progress and our timeless desire for immersive entertainment experiences. Cheret's work captures not only a moment in history but also encapsulates our fascination with merging artistry and technological advancements - something that continues to shape our world today.
