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 woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "Courtesan Watching Her Attendants Playing with a Ball" transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Set during the Edo period, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of life in that era. In this scene, we see a courtesan elegantly observing her attendants engaging in a playful game with a ball. The delicate colors and intricate details showcase Harunobu's mastery of woodblock printing. The use of chuban format adds to the charm and intimacy of the composition. The courtesan's presence exudes grace and poise, while her attendants - young kamuro girls - display youthful energy as they joyfully participate in their game. One can almost hear the sounds of laughter and music filling the air as one attendant skillfully plays a samisen (a traditional Japanese musical instrument). Harunobu's artistry not only celebrates leisure activities but also provides insight into social hierarchies and occupations during this time. The print offers a glimpse into the lives of women working within Japan's pleasure quarters. As we admire this exquisite piece from Suzuki Harunobu, we are reminded of how art has always been an essential medium for capturing moments in history and preserving cultural heritage. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and a valuable historical document that allows us to connect with past traditions and appreciate their beauty even today.
