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
SHOCK-HEADED PETER: A Peek into the Whimsical World of Heinrich Hoffmann's Classic Children's Tale This image showcases Peter, the mischievous protagonist from Heinrich Hoffmann's iconic 1847 children's book, "Struwwelpeter" or "Shock-headed Peter." In this illustration, Peter's unruly, long, and disheveled hair is a testament to his wild and rebellious nature. The historical context of this print dates back to the mid-19th century, a time when children's literature was undergoing significant transformations. Hoffmann's innovative approach to storytelling, which combined morality tales with humor and satire, was groundbreaking. "Struwwelpeter" was one of the first books to use illustrations as an integral part of the narrative, making it a precursor to modern picture books. The title "Shock-headed Peter" refers to the various gruesome punishments meted out to Peter and other characters in the book as a result of their disobedience. This image, however, captures Peter in his natural state - unkempt and unruly, with his shock of straw-like hair standing on end and his finger nails long and dirty. Despite his disheveled appearance, Peter's expressive face and wide-eyed gaze engage the viewer, inviting them into the whimsical world of Hoffmann's imagination. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of "Struwwelpeter," which has been translated into numerous languages and continues to captivate generations of readers. The publication of "Struwwelpeter" marked a significant moment in children's literature, paving the way for more innovative and engaging storytelling. Today, this classic work remains a beloved part of children's literature, inspiring new adaptations and continuing to delight and surprise readers of all ages.
