Boating Cats Handle Improvised Kitten Kittens Rowing Spoon Tabby
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 a bygone era with this charming image of two playful kittens enjoying a festive boat ride on a Victorian-era Christmas card. Dressed in holiday attire, the white and tabby kittens have fashioned an improvised boat from a large, round tub, complete with a wooden spoon as an oar. The wooden spoon's long handle extends from the tub, providing the perfect length for the kittens to row through the imaginary waters. The tabby kitten in the back gazes intently at the spoon's handle, while the white kitten in the front paws the water, creating gentle ripples. The card's simple yet elegant design, with its muted colors and intricate border, transports us back to the late 1890s, a time when the simple joys of the holiday season were celebrated with warmth and whimsy. This delightful scene of feline fun is a reminder that even the most ordinary objects can become the source of endless entertainment and joy, especially during the magical time of year.
