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.

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 caricature depicts the American comedian and actor John Sleeper Clarke, popularly known as John A. Bryan, in a humorous pose during the 1880s. The image, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, captures the essence of Clarke's comedic talent and stage presence. Clarke, with his bushy mustache and glasses perched on the tip of his nose, is shown holding a lengthy roll of red tape. The prop adds an element of satire to the image, as red tape is often symbolic of bureaucracy, endless paperwork, and unnecessary complications. The comedian's exaggerated facial expressions and animated pose convey a sense of energy and enthusiasm, suggesting the excitement and anticipation that came with attending a live performance by this beloved comedian. The stage and theatre backdrop further emphasize the connection between Clarke and the entertainment industry, highlighting his status as a prominent figure in the world of comedy and theatre. John Sleeper Clarke, who began his career in the late 1860s, was known for his unique brand of physical comedy and quick wit. His talent and charisma made him a favorite among audiences, and he continued to entertain and captivate crowds throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This caricature serves as a testament to his enduring impact on the world of comedy and the lasting impression he left on those who experienced his performances. Terry Parker's masterful use of line and form in this caricature not only showcases Clarke's distinct features but also encapsulates the spirit of the man and the joy he brought to audiences. This image is a must-have for any collection dedicated to the history of American comedy and the art of caricature.
