23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 1890 engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a whimsical moment in history. The image depicts a man eager to showcase his poultry, but instead of presenting them neatly, he decides to release them all at once. As each bird gracefully leaps onto the back of a startled goose, chaos ensues. The unexpected sight startles the flock and sends them running towards the nearby sea. The comical scene unfolds as cats belonging to Dame Wiggins of Lee find themselves caught up in this avian frenzy. In their desperate attempt to escape, some felines end up half-drowned by the unruly birds' mad dash for safety. This Victorian-era engraving beautifully captures both the humor and unpredictability of life in that time period. Its illustrative technique showcases intricate details and fine craftsmanship typical of engravings from this era. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we are transported into a world where everyday occurrences can turn into amusing spectacles. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and mishaps, there is always room for laughter and joy. With its retro charm and historic artistry, this nineteenth-century engraving offers us an intriguing glimpse into days gone by – an artifact worth cherishing for its cultural significance and artistic merit.
