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
Granpop's Jolly Jamboree: A Hilarious Gathering of the 'Anthropomorphic' Freemasons! Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes on this delightful and humorous illustration by the renowned British artist, Lawson Wood, featuring his beloved orang-utan character, Granpop, presiding over a most unusual Lodge of Instruction in the year 1934. In this whimsical scene, Granpop dons his Masonic apron, complete with the symbolic square and compasses, while his monkey and pig companions eagerly take their places in this makeshift Lodge. The trio appears to be in the midst of a serious discussion, their faces displaying a mix of concentration and amusement. The veil of secrecy that shrouds the Freemasons' rituals and insignia has never been more playfully poked fun at than in this illustration. Wood's anthropomorphic touch adds an extra layer of humor, as the animals don their aprons and engage in what can only be assumed to be a lively discourse. The orang-utan, Granpop, has long been a beloved character in Wood's work, and his inclusion in this scene adds a touch of the exotic and the unexpected. This humorous take on Freemasonry, with its anthropomorphic twists, is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most serious of Masonic scholars. So, gather 'round, friends, and let us raise a toast to Granpop and his jolly companions, who remind us that even the most venerable organizations can be the source of great humor and delight!
