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 1815, titled "Origin of the Gout" offers a humorous yet thought-provoking depiction of an upper-class man's battle with this painful disease. In the image, we see a well-to-do gentleman engrossed in playing his cello within an elegant interior setting. However, his enjoyment is abruptly interrupted as a mischievous devil appears and maliciously burns his gouty leg. The artist behind this colored etching is Henry William Bunbury, renowned for his satirical works during the early 19th century. Through this clever illustration, Bunbury highlights the connection between excessive drinking and the onset of gout—an ailment commonly associated with indulgent lifestyles prevalent among the upper class at that time. The contrasting elements in this artwork are striking: on one hand, we have an aesthetically pleasing scene featuring beautiful furniture and musical instruments; on the other hand, there is an ugly representation of evil personified by the devil inflicting pain upon our protagonist. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even those living privileged lives are not immune to suffering or consequences. As viewers engage with this print from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, they are invited to reflect on societal issues such as alcohol consumption and its impact on health. Beyond its artistic value, "Origin of the Gout" prompts us to consider how our choices can lead to unexpected outcomes—a timeless message conveyed through Bunbury's skillful blend of satire and visual storytelling.
