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 from 1861 takes us back to a time when ancient traditions intertwined with the joyous spirit of Christmas. In Devonshire, on twelfth eve, men gather around apple trees, their lanterns casting a warm glow against the wintry backdrop. This enchanting scene depicts the age-old practice of wassailing - an act of blessing and celebrating the fruit-bearing trees. As they stand beneath the bare branches, these men partake in a sacred ritual that blends Christianity with remnants of pagan beliefs. Holding cups filled with hot cider, they raise their voices in song and recite incantations to ensure a bountiful harvest for the coming year. The scent of apples fills the air as laughter mingles with reverence. The print captures not only this unique custom but also reflects Victorian sensibilities through its monochrome aesthetic. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when nature played an integral role in people's lives and religious celebrations were deeply rooted in community bonds. Preserved by The Illustrated London News, this image transports us back to nineteenth-century England where tradition met innovation through engravings like this one. It allows us to appreciate how our ancestors found solace and meaning during winter months while fostering connections between man and nature. Today, let this print serve as both an homage to our rich cultural heritage and a gentle nudge towards cherishing our own customs amidst modernity's hustle and bustle.
