31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
In this illustration from 1938, we find Dunderpate, a young boy with a mischievous expression and a distinctive dunce cap, accompanied by his friend Susan, a bright and determined girl, as they make their way to town. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the dusty path that winds through the countryside. Dunderpate, once filled with excitement and dreams of seeking his fortune, now appears to be losing interest. His foot drags on the ground, and his gaze is fixed on the dirt beneath his feet. His once-prized book, which he used to read with fervor, now hangs limply at his side. Susan, on the other hand, remains focused on their destination. She kicks a small pebble along the path, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and determination. Her arms are laden with a basket filled with freshly baked goods from her mother's bakery, and the scent of fresh bread wafts through the air. The silhouette of the two friends against the setting sun creates a poignant contrast between their differing attitudes. While Dunderpate seems demotivated and disinterested, Susan's spirit remains undeterred. The image captures the essence of childhood in the 1930s, a time of innocence and resilience in the face of adversity. This illustration, titled "Dunderpate and his friend Susan walking to town," is a charming reminder of the importance of friendship and the power of determination, even in the face of setbacks. It is a visual snapshot of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring spirit of children, who continue to inspire us with their boundless curiosity and unwavering resolve.
