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.

The Loves of the Fox and The Badger, or The Coalition Wedding
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Thomas Rowlandson that transports viewers to the political landscape of 18th century Britain. This hand-coloured aquatint showcases an intriguing scene filled with symbolism and wit. The image depicts a coalition wedding between two unlikely partners: Charles James Fox, known as the "Fox" and Lord Frederick North, also called the "Badger". These prominent politicians were key figures in the coalition government at that time. Their union is humorously portrayed amidst a backdrop of chaos and intrigue. Rowlandson's meticulous attention to detail brings this satirical composition to life. The coat of arms proudly displayed above them represents their shared power while hinting at their individual ambitions. A mischievous devil lurks nearby, symbolizing the temptations faced by those in politics. Intriguing elements such as bear baiting and the Eddystone Lighthouse add layers of complexity to this artwork. They represent entertainment and finance respectively, highlighting how these aspects influenced political decisions during that era. "The Loves of the Fox and The Badger" serves as both a historical document and a commentary on power dynamics within British politics. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as ambition, alliances, and even personal dreams for those involved in governance. This fascinating print can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate audiences with its rich heritage artistry.
