23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Exudes a charmingly plump and curvaceous woman of the 1920s, her eyes wide with delight as she contemplates the slim and sinuous fashions gracing the pages of a fashion magazine. The year is 1929, and the Roaring Twenties are in full swing. The lady's voluminous figure, clad in an outsize dress and a cropped jacket, stands in stark contrast to the flat, flapper-like silhouettes that dominate the magazine's spread. The scene, rendered in the inimitable style of British cartoonist H.M. Bateman, is a delightful commentary on the era's fashion trends and body ideals. Bateman's signature wit and amusing touch are on full display as the woman reaches for a cigarette, her expression one of determination as she decides to embrace the latest fashionable trends, despite her size. The cartoon, titled "Eton Crop," is a testament to Bateman's ability to find humor in the everyday and to challenge societal norms through his art. The lady's unapologetic embrace of her body and her refusal to be swayed by the narrow fashion standards of the time make this a truly inspiring image. The cartoon, dated 1929, is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the contrast between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, and the acceptance and defiance of societal expectations. It is a reminder that fashion, like beauty, is subjective and that confidence and self-acceptance are timeless qualities that transcend the passing trends. This image, with its rich historical context and timeless message, is a must-have for any collection of vintage fashion, cartoon, or social history. It is a fun and amusing addition to any home or office space, and a conversation starter that is sure to inspire a smile and a thought or two.
