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 vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Parody of a Chinese Immortal" created by Suzuki Harunobu in the 18th century, is a captivating piece that showcases the artist's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form during Japan's Edo period. The print depicts a beautiful woman immersed in an aquatic world filled with colorful carp and rippling water. Harunobu skillfully combines elements from Chinese literature and Japanese culture to create this satirical parody. The woman reading a poem represents immortality, while the fish symbolize good fortune and abundance in Chinese mythology. Through his artistic interpretation, Harunobu cleverly comments on societal expectations and challenges traditional notions of femininity. The intricate patterns adorning both the woman's kimono and the surrounding water add depth to the composition. The use of ink and color on paper enhances every detail, making each element come alive with vibrancy. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Harunobu's contribution to Japanese art history. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance within both Chinese and Japanese traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, we are transported into an enchanting realm where imagination meets reality—a visual feast for those who appreciate fine artistry combined with profound storytelling.
