FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 19th-century woodblock print, titled "Langoustine with a Block of Charcoal" transports viewers to the vibrant world of Japanese ukiyo-e art. Created by Hokkei, Toyota (1780-1850), this masterpiece measures 19.3x17.2 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Angers, France. The print showcases a langoustine, a type of lobster-like shellfish, delicately balanced on top of a block of charcoal. The contrasting colors and textures create an intriguing visual composition that captivates the viewer's attention. The burnt wood adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Hokkei's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and line, showcasing his mastery over the ukiyo-e technique. This traditional Japanese art form flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868) and was known for its depiction of everyday life scenes. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork, we are transported back in time to experience both the beauty and simplicity found within nature itself. The langoustine symbolizes abundance while also representing our connection with the oceanic world around us. This woodblock print serves as a reminder that even mundane objects can be transformed into works of art when viewed through an artist's discerning eye. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also contemplate deeper meanings hidden within its intricate details.
