23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 titled "INDIA: SNAKE, 1887" takes us back to the late 19th century in rural India. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of life along an Indian roadside. In this wood engraving from 1887, we witness a brave native man standing next to a cobra snake. The photograph transports us to an era when British officers were present in India as part of their colonial rule. This encounter between man and serpent symbolizes the delicate balance between humans and nature that has existed for centuries. The intricate details captured by the English artist highlight not only the beauty but also the danger associated with these majestic creatures. The intense gaze of both man and snake creates an aura of tension, reminding us of the inherent risks faced by those living in close proximity to wildlife. As we admire this historical artwork brought to us by Granger Art on Demand, let's reflect on how it serves as a testament to cultural exchange during a significant period in history. It allows us to appreciate both the diversity and interconnectedness of our world while acknowledging our responsibility towards preserving its wonders for future generations.
