23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 etching, titled "The Gold Bug" is a mesmerizing illustration to the renowned story by Edgar Allan Poe. Created in 1884 by Robert Swain Gifford, this print transports us into the mysterious world of buried treasure and relentless pursuit. The scene depicted in this artwork captures the essence of Poe's narrative perfectly. We witness two figures, Lagrand and Jupiter, diligently digging beneath an old tree with their trusty lamp illuminating their path. Their expressions reveal determination mixed with anticipation as they search for the hidden chest that holds unimaginable riches. Gifford's attention to detail is evident throughout this etching. The gnarled branches of the tree seem to reach out like skeletal fingers, adding a touch of eerie ambiance to the composition. The intricate textures on both Lagrand and Jupiter's clothing further enhance their characters' personalities and roles within the story. "The Gold Bug" not only showcases Gifford's artistic prowess but also pays homage to one of literature's most celebrated authors. Edgar Allan Poe's gothic storytelling comes alive through this visual interpretation, enticing viewers into a world where secrets are unveiled and fortunes await discovery. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we can't help but feel drawn into its allure—a reminder that even in our modern age, tales of buried treasure continue to captivate our imagination just as they did when Poe first penned his enigmatic tale over a century ago.
