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 photograph captures the playful and whimsical side of James Montgomery Flagg, one of America's most renowned artists and illustrators. The image, taken at the Illustrators Ball in New York City in 1916, shows Flagg dressed as a clown, a fitting costume for the fancy dress event. Flagg, best known for his powerful and evocative propaganda posters during World War I, was a master of capturing emotion and expression through his art. In this portrait, however, Flagg is the one being captured, as he dons the red nose, oversized shoes, and colorful attire of a circus clown. His wife, whose identity remains unknown, stands by his side, dressed in a elegant white gown, adding a striking contrast to her husband's playful outfit. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp detail, perfectly preserves the moment, allowing us to see Flagg in a new light and offering a glimpse into the personal lives of these artistic luminaries. The Illustrators Ball was an annual event held in New York City, bringing together some of the most talented and influential artists and illustrators of the time. It was an opportunity for them to let their hair down, put on elaborate costumes, and enjoy each other's company outside of the studio. This photograph of Flagg and his wife is a testament to the creativity, camaraderie, and sense of fun that defined the Illustrators Ball and the artistic community of early 20th century New York.
