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 enchanting image, titled 'The Cricket and the Hearth' by Charles Brock, is an artist's interpretation of Mr. and Mrs. Perrybingle from Charles Dickens' heartwarming tale, 'The Cricket on the Hearth.' First published in 1845, this popular Dickensian Christmas story follows the lives of the Perrybingle family and their magical guardian angel, the Cricket. In this print, produced in 1908, we see Mr. and Mrs. Perrybingle cozily nestled within their caravan, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the hearth. The couple's contentment is palpable, their love for each other and their newfound happiness evident in their expressions. The Cricket, ever present and watchful, can be seen perched atop the mantelpiece, keeping a protective eye over the family. Charles Brock masterfully captures the essence of Dickens' story, encapsulating the spirit of warmth, love, and hope that lies at its heart. The intricate details of the caravan's interior, from the pots and pans hanging above the fire to the delicate china on the table, add to the sense of homeliness and comfort. The muted colors and soft focus of the print further emphasize the tranquility and peace that the Perrybingles have found in their simple, nomadic life. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Charles Dickens' stories and the timeless themes they explore. It serves as a reminder that no matter the circumstances, the warmth of love and the comfort of home can be found in even the most unexpected places.
