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
Step into the world of cricket with this charming Good Luck card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The vintage print features two elegantly crafted cricket bats, their wooden handles wrapped in red ribbon, standing tall against a lush green backdrop of a cricket pitch. The bats, with their distinctive shape and curved handles, exude an air of sophistication and grace. A red leather cricket ball lies at the foot of the bats, adding a touch of authenticity to the scene. The pièce de résistance, however, is the meticulously cut-out wicket, complete with three stumps and two bails, nestled between the bats. The intricate details of the wicket, with its thin, curved bars and the tiny, textured bails, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker. The Good Luck card, with its rustic charm and sporting theme, would have been a cherished keepsake during the late 1800s. The card's shape, with its rounded edges and ornate border, adds to its antique appeal. Whether it was used to wish a friend success on the cricket field or to brighten up a Victorian drawing room, this Good Luck card is a delightful reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of a game of cricket.
