British Prime Minister Member Of Parliament Scale Tiny Top Hat Whig
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of Lord John Russell, a prominent British politician and former Prime Minister. Created in 1869 by an anonymous artist for Vanity Fair magazine, this colour lithograph showcases the satirical nature of political cartoons during the 19th century. Lord John Russell is depicted wearing his signature top hat, which adds to his distinguished appearance. The artist skillfully exaggerates certain features, such as his diminutive stature, using a clever play on scale. This caricature highlights Russell's influential role as a Member of Parliament and his affiliation with the Whig party. The use of color lithography brings this artwork to life, enhancing its visual impact. The vibrant hues add depth and dimension to every detail, from Russell's facial expression to the intricate patterns on his clothing. Displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical politics and artistic techniques of that era. It serves as a reminder that even serious figures like politicians are not immune to satire and humor. Overall, this image invites us to reflect on Lord John Russell's legacy while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation.
