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
This print titled "Characters in High Life. . . 1795" takes us back to the elegant world of 18th-century Britain. The image, sketched at The New Rooms Opera House, beautifully captures the essence of high society during this era. Intriguingly, the print serves a dual purpose - it is not only a delightful form of entertainment but also an educational tool for teaching young individuals how to shoot. This unique combination reflects the multifaceted nature of life in those times. The fashion choices showcased in this image are truly remarkable. Both men and women are dressed impeccably, donning extravagant attire that epitomizes luxury and sophistication. The women's headdresses adorned with ostrich feathers add an extra touch of glamour to their already stunning appearance. The couple depicted here exudes social class and refinement as they engage in conversation or perhaps enjoy a performance at the opera house. Their fashionable outfits perfectly reflect their status within high society. This fascinating caricature offers us a glimpse into the vibrant entertainment scene of eighteenth-century Britain. It reminds us that even amidst strict social hierarchies, people found joy and amusement through various forms of art and culture. As we admire this exquisite print by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the allure and grandeur of high life during one of history's most fascinating centuries.
