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
1. Title: "John Henry Foley: The Irish Sculptor and His Tools of Trade - An Authentic Signature John Henry Foley (1818-1874), an esteemed Irish sculptor, is depicted in this photograph, surrounded by the essential tools of his artistic trade. Born in County Cork, Ireland, Foley's prolific career spanned over five decades, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. The photograph, taken likely during the latter part of his career, captures Foley in his studio, seated in front of a table laden with various chisels, hammers, and other carving tools. The presence of these tools serves as a testament to the meticulous and labor-intensive process of sculpting. Foley's signature, visible in the bottom right corner of the image, is a crucial element in the authenticity of his works. In the world of art, an artist's signature is a seal of approval, a guarantee of the creator's authorship. Without it, works attributed to Foley cannot be considered authentic. Foley's oeuvre encompassed a diverse range of subjects, from historical figures and mythological beings to religious icons and allegorical figures. His most famous works include "The Famine Stricken Child," "The Last Supper," and "The Agony in the Garden." These masterpieces can be found in various galleries and museums throughout Europe and the United States. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of this accomplished artist, revealing the intimate connection between the man and his tools, the artist and his craft. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of authenticity in the world of art and the indelible impact of a single signature.
