Overweight Portly Top Hat Regency Tubby
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 etching, titled "A View of Beau-Ville from Dightons City Characters, 1824" takes us back to the Regency era with its delightful caricature and playful pun. Created by Richard Dighton in 1824, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of characters through art. In this particular piece, we are introduced to a male figure who exudes charm and wit. His top hat perched jauntily on his head adds an air of sophistication while also hinting at his status within society. However, it is his rotund figure that truly steals the show - a portly gentleman with a jovial expression that invites laughter. The subject's identity remains somewhat mysterious; he could be either Benjamin Bovill, father of esteemed judge Sir William Bovill or Benjamin Bovill himself - a wine merchant based in London during that time. Regardless of their true identity, this character embodies the spirit of the era - extravagant yet approachable. Dighton's masterful use of etching techniques brings out every detail in this portrait. The lines and shading create depth and texture while emphasizing our protagonist's roundness. It is evident that Dighton had an eye for capturing not only physical attributes but also personality traits through his artwork. This timeless etching transports us to another world where humor and satire reign supreme. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art has the power to entertain and connect us across generations.
