31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 back in time with this charming and whimsical holiday card from the late 1890s. The image features a delightful scene of kittens and puppies playfully peeking out from the cut-out shapes of a wooden crate or box. The kittens, with their tabby coats and bright, curious eyes, are perched atop the box, while the puppies, with their floppy ears and wagging tails, are nestled inside. The card's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its intricate details and use of natural materials, such as the straw and brown and white colors. The wordplay and verbal pun in this card add an extra layer of delight. The kittens and puppies are not only adorable subjects, but their presence in the box also brings to mind the popular phrase "kitten in a corner" or "puppy in a crate," which suggests a sense of contentment and happiness. The box-shaped card itself adds to the playful nature of the design, as it mimics the shape of a real crate or box. This card is a lovely reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the enduring appeal of animals, particularly kittens and puppies. It is a charming and nostalgic piece that would make a wonderful addition to any holiday card collection or display.
