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 "Frontispiece for Venus and Tannhauser, 1895" is a mesmerizing creation by the renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley. The image showcases Beardsley's distinct Art Nouveau style, characterized by intricate lines and delicate details. At the center of the composition stands Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. She exudes elegance as a crown hovers above her head, symbolizing her divine status. Flanking her are classical sculptures holding pan pipes, representing music, while balancing baskets of luscious fruits on their heads. The juxtaposition of these elements creates a harmonious blend between nature and artifice. Climbing plants entwine around trellises in the background, emphasizing the connection between humans and their natural surroundings. Beardsley's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this illustration. From the graceful drapery adorning Venus' dress to each individual grape in the bunches held by the sculptures – no element is overlooked. This frontispiece was originally featured in "Venus between Terminal Gods" but has gained recognition through its inclusion in "The Best of Beardsley". It serves as a testament to Beardsley's talent as both an illustrator and graphic designer during Britain's decadent movement. With its striking imagery and symbolic references to mythology and literature, this print invites viewers into an enchanting world where beauty reigns supreme.
