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 captures a scene from William Hogarth's famous series, "A Rake's Progress - 2: The Levee" painted in 1733. In this particular image, we witness Tom, the protagonist of the series, hosting a morning reception at his luxurious town lodgings. Surrounding him are various visitors offering their services and expertise. The composition is rich with symbolism and social commentary as each character represents a different aspect of society. A jockey symbolizes sport and leisure, while a dancing-master with his violin embodies the arts. Charles Bridgeman, an esteemed landscape gardener holding a plan, signifies the importance of garden design during that era. Notably present is George Frederick Handel himself, believed to be depicted as the musician seated at the harpsichord. This inclusion hints at Hogarth's rivalry with Handel and adds another layer of intrigue to this already complex artwork. Hogarth masterfully uses monochrome tones to create depth and highlight intricate details within the interior setting. The black-and-white aesthetic enhances the satirical nature of this piece while emphasizing its historical significance. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to 18th century England where wealth and fortune dictated one's lifestyle. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an insightful glimpse into Georgian society's pastimes and occupations.
