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 self-portrait by Thomas Nast, we catch a glimpse into the mind of an American cartoonist during the late 19th century. Titled "Our Artist Trying to Think of Something Funny" the image showcases Nast in his cluttered office, surrounded by political cartoons and various objects that reflect his creative process. Seated at his desk, Nast appears deep in thought as he searches for inspiration. The intense heat of the room is evident through the artist's sweat-drenched brow and disheveled appearance. With furrowed brows and a fan futilely attempting to provide relief from the stifling atmosphere, it becomes clear that coming up with humorous ideas is no easy task. The interior of Nast's study offers a fascinating insight into his world. Political posters adorn the walls, showcasing his dedication to using art as a means of social commentary. Every inch of space seems occupied by sketches and notes, revealing an artist consumed by his craft. This self-portrait captures not only Nast's physical state but also reflects on the challenges faced by artists in their pursuit of creativity. It serves as a reminder that even great minds like Thomas Nast experience moments when inspiration seems elusive. Yet despite these struggles, this iconic cartoonist continues to push forward in search of something funny - an eternal quest shared by all who strive to bring joy through their artistic endeavors.
