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.

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.

Death's Laboratory - Unmasking the Dangers of Patent Medicine and Deceptive Advertising
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage print, created in 1906 by Edward Windsor Kemble, serves as a powerful allegory on the perils of patent medicine and the deceitful tactics employed by advertisers to lure unsuspecting customers. Aptly titled "Death's Laboratory" this American cartoon offers a chilling glimpse into an era when spurious claims and false promises were rampant within the medicinal industry. Kemble's masterful artwork features a haunting symbol of danger – a skull – surrounded by bottles labeled with various patent medicine brands. The grim reaper himself presides over this macabre laboratory, personifying death itself. Through this vivid imagery, Kemble highlights how these fraudulent products posed serious health risks to consumers. At the turn of the century, patent medicines flooded the market with their questionable ingredients and unproven efficacy. Advertisers shamelessly exploited people's desperation for quick fixes, employing exaggerated claims to sell their poisonous concoctions as miracle cures. This thought-provoking cartoon stands as both a warning against falling victim to such frauds and an indictment of those who profited from them. It also reflects the growing public concern that eventually led to political acts like America's Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. Edward Windsor Kemble's "Death's Laboratory" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it serves as a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant against deceptive advertising practices while advocating for safe and effective
