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.

Very Fond of It
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by John Leech, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854. The image depicts a humorous scene of horse riding in the snowy countryside. In the foreground, a determined horseman, bundled up against the cold, clings tightly to his horse as they navigate a fallen fence in a wintry field. Behind them, a group of horsemen and huntsmen, also dressed for the weather, follow closely in pursuit. A fox, cunningly hiding in the undergrowth, watches the scene unfold with a smirk, as if amused by the riders' efforts. The print, titled "Very Fond of It" by Joseph Swain, captures the essence of rural life in 19th century Britain. The fallen fence, a common occurrence in rural areas, is a reminder of the challenges and unpredictability of the countryside. The horsemen, undeterred by the weather, embody the tenacity and spirit of the rural community. The image also speaks to the tradition of fox hunting, a popular pastime during this period. The wintry scene is beautifully rendered, with the snow falling gently in the background and the horse's breath visible in the crisp air. The contrast between the black and white tones adds to the sense of depth and texture, making this a truly striking and timeless image. Overall, "Very Fond of It" is a delightful and charming representation of horse riding in the snow, and a wonderful example of the illustrative style of John Leech and the Illustrated London News.
