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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

The Epicure Who Detected a Minnow
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic humorous cartoon by the renowned British satirical artist, H.M. Bateman, published in 1938. The scene takes place in a bustling restaurant, where an elegant and arrogant diner, dressed in a three-piece suit and holding a white napkin at his neck, is examining his plate of whitebait with a furrowed brow. The expression on his face is one of disdain and annoyance as he holds up a small minnow, which had unfortunately found its way onto his plate among the tiny fish. The diner's outraged gaze is directed towards the waiter, who stands nearby, looking apologetic and nervous. The waiter, with a white apron and a tray of drinks in hand, seems to be trying to appease the angry diner, who is demanding that the minnow be removed from his meal. The scene is further complicated by the presence of the restaurant manager, who is seen in the background, peering over the diner's shoulder, likely assessing the situation and considering how best to handle the complaint. The overall atmosphere of the cartoon is light-hearted and amusing, with Bateman's expert use of exaggerated expressions and body language to convey the diner's indignation and the waiter's embarrassment. The cartoon is a delightful commentary on the social scene of dining out, and the expectations and demands of the epicurean diner, who is used to impeccable service and perfection in his meals. The presence of the minnow adds an unexpected and humorous element to the scene, making it a beloved classic in Bateman's extensive body of work.
