23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Halloween Greetings: A Peek into the Magical World of Witchcraft and Lantern Light (1916) Halloween, a night of enchantment and mystery, is depicted in this charming postcard from the past. The image captures the essence of the season with a witch flying gracefully across the moonlit sky on her broomstick. Her pointed hat and long, flowing robe add to the traditional image of witchcraft. Accompanying her is a black cat, perched precariously on the back of her broom. The cat's eyes gleam in the night, adding to the eerie yet playful atmosphere of the scene. A bat, another iconic symbol of Halloween, flies alongside the witch, completing the trio of sinister yet beloved creatures. Two mischievous pumpkins, grinning below, add a touch of whimsy to the scene. The orange pumpkins, with their toothy grins, contrast beautifully with the dark night sky and the yellow lantern light that illuminates the scene. The inscription on the postcard reads, "On Halloween, the witches' night, if YELLOW is the lantern light, your future surely will be bright." This message adds to the magical and hopeful feeling of the season, suggesting that the future holds good things for those who embrace the spirit of Halloween. This postcard, dated 1916, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Halloween. It showcases the customs and symbols that have been passed down through generations, making it a cherished piece of seasonal art and a reminder of the magic and wonder of this spooky yet delightful holiday.
