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 image depicts a humorous scene from a classic Scottish nursery rhyme, "There was an Old Man of Dundee." The old man, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, is shown perched atop a tree with a book in hand. The serene scene is disrupted by a group of crows, causing the old man to suddenly rise and exclaim, "I'll return to Dundee!" The Old Man of Dundee is a beloved character from Scottish folklore, first published in print in 1846. The exact origins of the rhyme are unclear, but it has been passed down through generations, becoming a cherished part of Scottish history and culture. The old man's decision to return to Dundee upon being disturbed by the crows adds an element of whimsy and nonsense to the tale. The old man's love for books is evident in this print, as he is shown engrossed in a tome amidst the beauty of nature. The tree, adorned with autumn leaves, provides a picturesque backdrop for the scene. The crows, with their inquisitive and mischievous expressions, add a touch of playfulness to the image. This print is a delightful reminder of the rich history and folklore of Scotland. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the joy of reading, even in the most unexpected of places. Whether hung in a cozy study or displayed in a public space, this print is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it.
