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
Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837), the renowned English clown and actor, is depicted in this photograph taken during his performance in the pantomime of Mother Goose in 1846. Grimaldi, known as the "Father of the English Clown," revolutionized the art of clowning and left an indelible mark on the history of British theater. In this image, Grimaldi is seen in character, delivering his signature line, "Sir, I'll just trouble you with a line," with a mischievous grin and a twinkle in his eye. The pantomime of Mother Goose was a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian era, and Grimaldi's performances were renowned for their energy, wit, and slapstick humor. Grimaldi's influence on the art of clowning cannot be overstated. He is credited with introducing the red nose and the whiteface makeup that is still used by clowns today. He also popularized the use of props such as the bat and the bells, which became essential elements of the clown's costume. Despite his success, Grimaldi's life was not without its struggles. He suffered from alcoholism and financial difficulties, and his health declined in his later years. He died in poverty in 1837, but his legacy lived on. Grimaldi's influence can be seen in the works of later clowns such as Charlie Chaplin and Bozo the Clown. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Joseph Grimaldi and the rich history of English pantomime. It is a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to entertain and inspire, and of the indomitable spirit of the clown, who continues to bring joy and laughter to audiences around the world.
