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 charming 1881 engraving by Thomas Nast, titled "Christmas Fancies - Don't you wish you wore stockings?", we are transported back to a cozy American home on Christmas Eve. The scene captures the essence of holiday anticipation and family togetherness. The warm glow of the fireplace illuminates the room, casting a gentle light on two siblings, a boy and a girl, eagerly examining their stockings hanging from the mantelpiece. Their eyes sparkle with excitement as they imagine what surprises might be tucked inside those festive red socks. A loyal pet dog sits nearby, patiently observing his young companions' joyful anticipation. The hearth crackles with warmth and comfort as winter's chill lingers outside. This nostalgic image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when families gathered around the hearth to celebrate Christmas together. It reminds us of the importance of cherishing our loved ones during this special season. Thomas Nast was renowned for his illustrations that captured both political satire and sentimental scenes like this one. His attention to detail brings every element in this engraving to life – from the intricate patterns on the children's clothing to the flickering flames dancing in the fireplace. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder that no matter how much time has passed since 1881, some things remain timeless – love, joy, and cherished moments spent with family during Christmastime.
