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
This historical print, titled "There was an Old Person of Bangor," depicts an elderly man with a deeply distorted and angry expression on his face. The image, published in 1846, is a visual representation of a popular nonsense verse that originated in the 18th century. The verse goes as follows: "There was an Old Person of Bangor, whose face was distorted with anger! He tore off his boots, and subsisted on roots, that irascible Person of Bangor." The old man in the print appears to have thrown off his boots in frustration, and the texture of the image suggests that he has been living in the wilderness for some time. The roots he is subsisting on are visible in the foreground, adding to the sense of isolation and survival. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of nonsense verse and the storytelling traditions of the time. The verse itself is believed to have originated in Wales, and it is likely that the image is meant to represent an old Welsh man from the town of Bangor. Despite the old man's angry demeanor, the print is full of character and intrigue. The use of bold lines and rich textures adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating addition to any historical or literary collection. This print is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of nonsense verse. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of people and the traditions that shaped our history. Whether you are a history buff, a literature enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the quirks and oddities of the past, this print is sure to capture your imagination.
