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
In this print by George Cruikshank, we are transported back to the 19th century where a giant looms over a vast field. As the farmer diligently ploughs the land with his trusty horse, the mythical figure stands tall, holding a club in hand. The engraving beautifully captures both the awe-inspiring presence of the giant and the hard work of agriculture. The juxtaposition between these two figures sparks curiosity and raises questions about power dynamics and human connection with nature. The giant's concerned expression as he looks over his shoulder adds an element of mystery to this scene. Is he watching over or threatening? Are there deeper symbolic meanings behind his presence? Cruikshank's illustration skillfully combines elements of mythology, occupation, and daily life in rural settings. It serves as a reminder that farming is not just a profession but also an ancient practice deeply rooted in our history. This monochrome masterpiece invites us to contemplate our relationship with nature, reminding us that even giants can be humbled by their surroundings. Whether it be through mythological tales or real-life experiences on farms like this one depicted here, we are reminded of our place within the grand tapestry of existence.
