17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 "The Drunkards Progress" an iconic illustration that served as a powerful tool for The Temperance Movement in the 1850s. Depicting the nine stages of alcoholism, this thought-provoking image takes viewers on a visual journey through the highs and lows of excessive drinking. As we gaze upon this historical piece, our eyes are drawn to the arching steps that symbolize each stage of enjoyment leading up to a tragic downfall. Beginning with innocent socializing and progressing through increased indulgence, we witness how pleasure gradually transforms into dependency. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every step reveals subtle changes in facial expression, posture, and surroundings, reflecting the gradual deterioration caused by alcohol abuse. At its peak stands a towering distillery—a stark reminder of temptation and addiction lurking at every corner. Yet as we follow these steps upwards, hope turns into despair. The once vibrant colors fade away as darkness engulfs the scene, culminating in an ultimate tragedy: death by suicide. "The Drunkards Progress" serves as both a cautionary tale and a call for action against excessive drinking. It reminds us of the devastating consequences that can arise from unchecked habits while urging society to embrace temperance and moderation. Through this extraordinary print from Fotosearch/Getty Images' collection at Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in history—one that continues to resonate today as societies strive for healthier lifestyles and advocate for responsible consumption
