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.

Happy Hampstead!, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the idyllic suburban life of a Victorian family enjoying a day out in the park. Created by renowned artists Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this satirical engraving from Punch, or the London Charivari, offers an intriguing glimpse into 19th-century Britain. In this scene, we see a father figure dressed in his top hat and smoking pipe while engaging with his son. The mother stands nearby, holding an umbrella to shield her family from the elements. Their daughter playfully interacts with them, all adorned in typical Victorian attire. However, lurking ominously behind this seemingly happy family are ghostly figures representing Smallpox and Fever - diseases that haunted cities like London during that era. This clever juxtaposition serves as a reminder of the constant threat to health and well-being faced by urban dwellers at the time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this heritage image partnership between Swain and Tenniel. Through their artistic collaboration, they bring forth social commentary on both familial relationships and public health concerns prevalent during the 19th century. "Happy Hampstead!, 1875" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to reflect on broader concepts such as disease prevention and societal norms of parenthood. It remains an evocative piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
