31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print takes us back to the early 1900s, immersing us in the world of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. The illustration, created by none other than Kipling himself for the first edition of his book published in 1902, depicts a pivotal moment in one of his beloved tales: "How the Rhinoceros got his Skin". The attention to detail is remarkable as we see an English gentleman standing beside a majestic rhinoceros. The character's attire reflects the turn of the century fashion with a tailored suit and top hat, contrasting against the ruggedness of both man and beast. The rhino's horn stands tall and proud, symbolizing its strength and power. Kipling's artistic talent shines through this illustration as he captures not only physical features but also emotions. We can almost sense tension between man and animal - perhaps representing mankind's struggle to tame nature or our desire to understand it. This print serves as a testament to Kipling's literary genius and his ability to transport readers into imaginative worlds filled with adventure. It reminds us that literature has always been intertwined with visual artistry, enhancing our understanding and appreciation for stories like these. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate historical artwork, this print is sure to captivate your imagination while paying homage to one of literature's greatest storytellers.
