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
This woodcut print from the 16th century, titled "MINSTREL, 16th CENTURY" transports us back in time to witness a minstrel's enchanting performance. The scene depicts a German lutenist serenading his audience with a melodious song on his lute. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands beneath an open window of a charming building, surrounded by men and women who are captivated by his music. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life during the Renaissance period, showcasing courtship and entertainment in one frame. As the minstrel plays his instrument with finesse, it is evident that he has mastered this art form through years of practice and dedication. The atmosphere exudes flirtation and charm as both men and women gather around to listen attentively. The minstrel's melody seems to have cast a spell over them all. Through this woodcut print, we catch a glimpse into an era where street performances were cherished forms of amusement for people from all walks of life. This artwork by The Granger Collection not only showcases the talent of the minstrel but also highlights the significance of music as an integral part of society during that time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought solace and joy through artistic expressions like these serenades performed on bustling streets or under windowsills adorned with curious eyes.
