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 print titled "Well-a-day! Is this my son Tom!, 1770" captures a moment of utter astonishment and disbelief in the 18th century. The image, part of the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" showcases an exaggerated scene filled with surprise and shock. In the picture, a dandy-like young man stands before his father, who is dressed more conservatively. The son's elaborate hairstyle, fashionable clothes, and extravagant hat reflect the macaroni style popular at that time. His appearance leaves his father utterly amazed as he exclaims, "Well-a-day! Is this my son Tom!". The illustration serves as a satirical commentary on changing fashion trends and societal norms during that era. It highlights how younger generations often embraced new styles that were considered outrageous or unconventional by their elders. Adding to the whimsical nature of the image is a sword held by the young man. This weapon symbolizes both war and masculinity but also adds to his overall flamboyant appearance. Created by George Paston under her pseudonym Emily Morse Symonds in 1905, this print offers us a glimpse into eighteenth-century British society through its humorous depiction of family dynamics and evolving fashion choices.
