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 back in time with this enchanting handmade Christmas and New Year card from the late 1890s. The mysterious Sphinx, an ancient Egyptian guardian and riddle-poser, solves its age-old enigma as it extends a warm greeting for the festive season and the start of a new year. This intricately designed card, adorned with rich colors and exquisite detail, transports us to the heart of the Middle East, where the desert sands of Egypt meet the towering pyramids. The Sphinx, with its enigmatic smile and piercing gaze, sits atop its pedestal, waiting patiently to share its happy message. The late Victorian era, known for its fascination with the exotic and the ancient, is beautifully captured in this card's design. The intricate stone carving, reminiscent of the Sphinx itself, adds to the historical allure. The card's message, written in elegant script, reads "Happy Xmas and New Year," spreading joy and cheer to all who receive it. This handmade card, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, is a unique and captivating way to celebrate the holiday season and the turn of the year. The riddle of the Sphinx may have been solved, but the mystery and wonder of this beautiful card continue to captivate us, transporting us to a time long past.
