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 print showcases "George Taylor's Epitaph" by the renowned artist William Hogarth. Created around 1750, this piece is a remarkable example of pen and ink over graphite on paper. Measuring at 2.9x31.6 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The artwork depicts an intriguing scene where Death himself appears to be giving George Taylor a cross buttock - a wrestling move that involves lifting one's opponent off their feet and throwing them to the ground. The skeletal figure of Death looms over Taylor, who is depicted nude and muscular, emphasizing his vulnerability in the face of mortality. Hogarth's masterful sketch captures not only physical pain but also conveys emotional turmoil through his expressive lines and attention to detail. The image portrays Taylor as a taylor (not related to any company), symbolizing his profession while facing his imminent demise. This thought-provoking composition explores themes of mortality, human fragility, and our inevitable encounter with death itself. It serves as a reminder that no matter how strong or skilled we may be in life, we are all ultimately subject to its finality.
