31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

Crabs Near the Waters Edge, ca. 1830 - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Aquatic Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing polychrome woodblock print, created by Gakutei in the early 19th century, transports us to the shores of ancient Japan. Titled "Crabs Near the Waters Edge" this artwork showcases a delicate balance between artistic mastery and a deep appreciation for nature. Gakutei's intricate depiction of crustaceans captures our attention with its vibrant colors and meticulous details. The benkei crabs, known for their imposing pincers, stand out against a backdrop of swirling waves and sandy beaches. Each crab seems to possess a unique personality as they navigate their way near the water's edge. The print also pays homage to renowned figures from Japanese literature and theater. Danjuro Ichikawa VII, one of Kabuki theater's most celebrated actors, is depicted alongside Sugawara no Michizane (also known as Kan Shōjō), an esteemed poet from the Heian period. Their presence adds depth to this visual narrative while connecting it with Japan's rich cultural heritage. Through ink and color on paper, Gakutei skillfully combines artistry with storytelling. The inclusion of poetic verses further enhances our experience by evoking emotions associated with these magnificent creatures and their natural habitat. Preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Heritage Art piece serves as a window into both historical geography and artistic excellence during Japan's Edo period. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found in aquatic life but also the profound influence that nature has had on Japanese arts throughout centuries.
