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 charming antique photograph captures the delightful scene of a happy Victorian family gathered around the parlor table for a game of "Happy Families," a popular card game devised in Britain by the painter, Mr. Jacques, in 1861. The game, which was also known as "Mr. Pots," was a favorite pastime for families and friends, providing hours of entertainment and social interaction. In the image, we see a father, dressed in a formal suit and waistcoat, seated at the head of the table, intently studying his cards. His wife, elegantly attired in a flowing gown and lace cap, sits to his left, her hand resting on the table as she watches the progress of the game. Two young children, a boy and a girl, sit on the floor at their parents' feet, peering over the table to catch a glimpse of the cards. The boy, wearing a short jacket and trousers, holds a stack of cards in his hand, while the girl, in a frilly dress and ribbons, clutches a small toy doll. The atmosphere in the room is warm and inviting, with the soft glow of a fireplace casting a cozy light over the scene. The walls are adorned with intricate wallpaper, and the table is set with fine china and silverware. The family's cherished possessions, including a porcelain figurine and a collection of toys, are displayed on the shelves and windowsills, reflecting their happiness and contentment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when families gathered around the table for simple pleasures and cherished moments. The game of "Happy Families" may have been just a pastime, but it brought joy and connection to families and friends, making it a beloved part of Victorian history.
