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 cartoon print from 1811, titled "Ograbme, or the American Snapping-Turtle" offers a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on the Embargo Act of that year. Created by Alexander Anderson, an American artist renowned for his political cartoons, this artwork captures the essence of America's strained relationship with England during this period. Depicting a giant snapping turtle labeled "Ograbme" (embargo spelled backward), the cartoon symbolizes America's aggressive stance towards trade restrictions imposed by England. The turtle is shown devouring ships and men representing commerce and economic prosperity. This visual metaphor highlights the detrimental impact of the embargo on American businesses and livelihoods. The timing of this cartoon is significant as it coincides with escalating tensions between America and England leading up to the War of 1812. It serves as both a satirical critique of English policies and a call to action for political change within America. Anderson's skillful execution brings life to each character in this piece, emphasizing their frustration and determination through exaggerated facial expressions. The intricate details further enhance its historical significance, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in early 19th-century America. As we reflect upon this remarkable print today, it reminds us not only of our nation's complex history but also serves as a reminder that political actions have far-reaching consequences beyond mere policy decisions.
