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
The captivating print titled "Revelling with Harlots, plate III of A Rakes Progress, 1735" transports us back to the scandalous world of 18th-century debauchery. In this engraving by William Hogarth, we witness Tom Rakewell and his companion indulging in a night of revelry at a tavern. The scene is filled with an air of intoxication as men and women drink excessively while engaging in various forms of entertainment. To the right, two cunning harlots distract Rakewell under the guise of love-making, cleverly stealing his watch without him noticing. Meanwhile, on the left side of the room, a young woman hastily dresses herself amidst the chaos. In the center sits a table where other harlots engage in both drinking and fighting. This satirical depiction not only highlights society's obsession with alcohol during that era but also exposes its darker underbelly—crime and theft being prevalent among those who frequented such establishments. The artist skillfully captures every detail within this interior scene: from the intricate interior decoration to the expressions on each character's face. Through this powerful image captured by an anonymous artist from centuries ago, we are reminded that human vices have always existed throughout history. It serves as both a historical document showcasing life in 18th-century England and as a cautionary tale about excesses leading to downfall.
