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. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature by Nerman brilliantly captures the essence of the legendary dance duo, Fred and Adele Astaire, during their successful run at various London theatres in the mid-1920s. The siblings, known for their electrifying performances in shows such as "Stop Flirting," were at the height of their fame during this period. Fred, with his charismatic charm and graceful movements, and Adele, with her elegant poise and infectious energy, created a magical connection on stage that left audiences enchanted. However, the twenties were a decade of change for the Astaires. In 1929, Adele retired from dancing to marry Lord Charles Cavendish, the second son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Fred, on the other hand, continued to dazzle audiences, this time with his new dance partner, Ginger Rogers, as they embarked on a new chapter in Hollywood. This Nerman caricature, titled "The Famous Astaires," is a testament to the unforgettable partnership between Fred and Adele during their London years. The image captures their playful and flirtatious on-stage chemistry, as well as their undeniable sibling bond. The caricature not only serves as a historical document of their successful act but also as a reminder of the magical moments they created for audiences during the 1920s. This print is a rare and valuable piece of dance and entertainment history, showcasing the iconic brother-sister duo at the height of their career. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Astaires to life, making this a must-have for any dance or theater enthusiast's collection.
