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 a historic cartoon entitled "The Irish Union (Horrors of the Irish Union - Botheration of Poor Pat or A Whisper Across the Channel, 1798)" by James Gillray. The artwork alludes to the significant Act of Union in 1800, which brought together Great Britain and Ireland to form the United Kingdom. In this thought-provoking image, two men and two women are depicted sitting amidst a backdrop that portrays an amalgamation of symbols representing both nations. One man holds a spear while another examines a document labeled "Irish Channel". These elements symbolize the political tensions surrounding the union between these two countries. Gillray's satirical approach is evident as he highlights what he perceives as the negative consequences of this act. Through his clever use of imagery, he conveys how poor Pat—representing Ireland—is burdened by this union with Great Britain. The composition is rich in detail and symbolism, inviting viewers to delve into its historical context and interpret its underlying message. This print from Hulton Archive offers us an opportunity to appreciate Gillray's artistic prowess while reflecting on one of history's pivotal moments—the creation of the United Kingdom through the Act of Union in 1800.
