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 print captures the essence of a bygone era - the Victorian period in Britain. The image showcases a delicate dance card, belonging to a late 19th-century lady who eagerly awaits invitations from her admirers to reserve a dance at an elegant ballroom event. Each line on the card remains empty, symbolizing the anticipation and hope that soon every space will be filled with the names of suitors vying for her attention.
The historical significance of this private artifact offers a glimpse into the social customs and rituals of high society during this time. It reflects the strict etiquette and formalities observed in courtship and social gatherings, where dances were carefully orchestrated and partners selected with great care.
As we gaze upon this beautifully preserved piece of history, we can't help but wonder about the owner's story - her dreams, desires, and aspirations as she navigated through the complexities of love and romance in Victorian England. Perhaps one day soon, her dance card will be adorned with names that signify not just mere acquaintances but true admirers who seek to win her favor on the dance floor.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this poignant moment in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a world where tradition meets modernity, where hope mingles with uncertainty, and where every line on a dance card holds endless possibilities for romance.
