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 historical print captures a whimsical cartoon depiction of Queen Victoria and her newborn son, Prince Alfred, in 1844. Created by the talented English cartoonist John Leech, this artwork playfully applies an old nursery rhyme to the royal family's joyful occasion. The birth of another heir to the throne inspired Leech to reimagine the famous nursery rhyme "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" with a regal twist. In this delightful illustration, Queen Victoria takes on the role of the old woman while her growing brood fills up each window and door of an extravagant shoe-shaped residence. With his artistic skill and clever sense of humor, Leech brings together politics and childhood nostalgia in this Victorian-era masterpiece. The image not only celebrates the arrival of Prince Alfred but also reflects societal fascination with royalty during that time. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, it serves as a charming reminder of both historical events and timeless childhood tales. It transports us back to an era where queens ruled nations and nursery rhymes sparked imagination. Let us appreciate how art can capture moments from history while infusing them with creativity and joy.
