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 intriguing photograph, titled "The Kaiser Enjoying a Morning Tub in His New Campaigning Car," is a humorous depiction of German Emperor Wilhelm II during World War One, created by the renowned British illustrator W. Heath Robinson. The image, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, showcases the Kaiser in an unusual and convoluted method of transportation, adding a touch of whimsy to the harsh realities of war. Heath Robinson, known for his imaginative and often absurd machines and contraptions, presents us with a caricature of the Kaiser relaxing in a tub, surrounded by an elaborate campaigning car. The car appears to be a typical Heath Robinson creation, with an array of gears, pulleys, and other mechanical components. The Kaiser, dressed in military uniform, seems unfazed by the chaos around him, as he leans back and enjoys his morning bath. The cartoon, published during the early years of the war in 1914, offers a glimpse into the humorous side of history. The image not only showcases Heath Robinson's unique artistic style but also provides a lighthearted take on the serious events unfolding during that period. The convoluted method of transportation in the photograph adds to the humor and serves as a reminder of the imaginative and often unconventional ways people coped with the challenges of war. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating look into the past, offering a unique perspective on history through the lens of humor and creativity. It is a testament to the enduring power of art and its ability to bring a smile to our faces, even in the most challenging of times.
