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.

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

Dickens' literary genius and profound impact on English literature are undeniable; his works continue to be celebrated and cherished around the world.

The artist's masterful use of lines and shading adds depth and texture to the print, making it a captivating work of art. First published in 1868, this caricature of Dickens was produced during a time when the writer was at the height of his fame. Dickens' novels, such as "A Tale of Two Cities," "Great Expectations," and "Oliver Twist," had already become literary classics, and his popularity continued to grow. Despite being a French artist, Gill's work was highly sought after in England, and this caricature of Dickens is a testament to his talent and skill. The print was produced using the engraving technique, which involves incising lines into a metal plate and then printing from that plate.
