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
In this photograph from 1936, we are transported back to the golden age of comedy with two legendary figures in American entertainment history. Fred Allen, the renowned comedian known for his quick wit and satirical humor, stands confidently on the left side of the frame. Beside him is none other than Jack Benny, another comedic genius who would go on to become one of radio's most beloved personalities. Both men are captured mid-performance, leaning into a vintage microphone as they deliver their jokes and anecdotes to an unseen audience. Their expressions exude charisma and charm, hinting at the laughter that surely filled the room during their radio show. The portrait showcases not only their talent but also their friendship. The camaraderie between Allen and Benny is palpable as they share a moment together on stage. It serves as a testament to their mutual respect and admiration for each other's craft. This photograph by The Granger Collection allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when radio was king and comedians like Allen and Benny reigned supreme. It reminds us of the power of laughter in bringing people together across generations. As we admire this timeless image, we can't help but be reminded of how these two comedic giants paved the way for future entertainers while leaving an indelible mark on American popular culture.
