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
In this intriguing handcoloured copperplate engraving by George Cruikshank, we are transported to the eerie and fascinating world of the Catacombs in Paris. Tourists, including Dick Wildfire, Squire Jenkins, and the Halibut Family, can be seen playfully interacting among the skulls and skeletons that line the walls of this underground maze.
The juxtaposition of life and death is striking as these visitors mockingly pose with the remains of those who have long passed. The flickering lantern adds a ghostly glow to their antics, highlighting both fear and humor in equal measure.
As they journey through this macabre setting, one cannot help but feel a sense of unease mixed with curiosity. The woman's expression captures a moment of both fascination and trepidation as she gazes upon the skeletal figures surrounding her.
This scene serves as a reminder of our own mortality while also showcasing human curiosity and dark humor. It invites us to ponder our own relationship with death and how we choose to navigate spaces that hold such morbid fascination.
Overall, this image offers a glimpse into "Life among the Dead" in the Catacombs—a place where history meets modern-day tourists in an unforgettable display of macabre beauty.
