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.

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
Hogarth's Rake Progress 2: The Rake Surrounded by Flattering Artists and Professors, c. 1735, is a captivating print by the renowned English artist William Hogarth. This intriguing work is the second plate in Hogarth's iconic series, "A Harlot's Progress," which chronicles the downward spiral of a young woman named Moll into a life of prostitution. In this image, the rake, Tom Rakewell, is depicted in the midst of a grand assembly of artists and professors, who fawn over him with flattery and admiration. Tom, dressed in elegant attire and holding a trophy, sits confidently on a harpsichord bench, surrounded by a list of artists and professors, each identified by name in the print. Among them are a painter, a sculptor, a musician, and a fencing master, all eager to capture the essence of Tom's charm and charisma. The room is filled with opulence, with a grand fireplace, ornate furnishings, and an elaborate tapestry adorning the walls. This historical print, created in 1735, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century art and society. Hogarth masterfully captures the vanity and superficiality of the artists and professors, who are more concerned with the allure of Tom's wealth and status than his true character. The contrast between the grandeur of the setting and the moral decay of the characters adds depth and complexity to the narrative. The Rake Surrounded by Flattering Artists and Professors is a testament to Hogarth's skill as a storyteller and his ability to critique the society of his time. This print continues to intrigue and inspire art lovers and historians alike, offering a unique window into the past.
