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 illustration, dated 1923, depicts the lively and enchanting interaction between Harlequin and Scaramouche during a dance performance. Harlequin, dressed in his iconic colorful costume with a mask, exudes an air of mischief and playfulness as he gracefully dances to the melodic strains of Scaramouche's musical accompaniment. Scaramouche, a traditional comic character often portrayed as a harlequinade figure, is seen in the illustration with a stringed musical instrument, most likely a lute or a viola da gamba. His intense focus on playing the music is evident from his determined expression and the slight tilt of his head. The interplay of music and dance between these two characters is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the commedia dell'arte tradition. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of cultural and artistic innovation. This illustration is a beautiful representation of the era's fascination with the theatrical arts and the enduring appeal of commedia dell'arte. The intricate details of the characters' costumes, the lively poses, and the vibrant colors all contribute to the overall charm and allure of this timeless image. Harlequin and Scaramouche have been entertaining audiences for centuries with their antics and their ability to bring joy and laughter. This illustration serves as a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the enduring beauty and magic of live performance.
