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
Baron Munchausen's Extravagant Flight with Friendly Ducks, a whimsical and fantastical illustration from 1785, showcases the legendary character Baron Munchausen being towed through the air by a flight of playful ducks. This enchanting image, published in the popular collection of Baron Munchausen's Narratives, captures the historical figure's legendary ability to defy gravity and his affinity for the extraordinary. Baron Munchausen, a fictional character created by Rudolf Erich Raspe, first appeared in print in 1785. The tales of this larger-than-life figure, filled with fantastical adventures and outlandish stories, quickly captured the imagination of the public and have remained a staple of folklore ever since. In this particular illustration, the Baron is depicted in the midst of one of his most famous exploits, demonstrating his ability to fly with the aid of a flock of friendly ducks. The historical context of this image is significant, as it was published during a time when the Enlightenment was in full swing, and the public was fascinated by the possibilities of the natural world. Baron Munchausen's tales, filled with fantastical elements, provided a welcome escape from the mundane realities of everyday life. Despite the fantastical nature of the image, the Baron's expression remains calm and serene, as if this extraordinary feat is just another day in the life of the famous adventurer. The ducks, too, seem to relish their role in the Baron's flight, their wings spread wide in a show of joy and excitement. This print, with its blend of history, fantasy, and whimsy, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Baron Munchausen and the power of the imagination to transport us to far-off lands and extraordinary adventures.
