1931 Dining Fougasse Frustration Restaurant Restaurants
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
Step into the vibrant world of 1930s dining culture as depicted in this sequential cartoon by renowned British graphic artist Fougasse (Kenneth Cyril Bird). The captivating image captures the essence of the era's restaurant scene, where elegantly dressed couples eagerly awaited to be acknowledged by the maitre d' for a table. In the first panel, a chic couple enters a grand restaurant, their anticipation evident as they scan the room for the maitre d'. The second panel reveals their growing frustration as they wait, the woman's elegant glove clenched tightly in her hand. The third panel escalates the tension, with the couple's expressions reflecting their mounting annoyance. By the fourth panel, their patience has worn thin, and they resort to shouting for the maitre d's attention. The once refined scene is now filled with disdain and frustration, a far cry from the elegant image they had hoped to project. This humorous and historically significant cartoon, published in 1931, offers a glimpse into the dining experiences of the 1930s. Fougasse masterfully captures the essence of the era's social norms and the human condition, making this a must-see for anyone interested in the history of dining and 1930s culture.
