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.

A Little Boy's Surprise on a Victorian Christmas: A Captivating Image from the 1890s This enchanting photograph, taken in the late 1890s, captures the essence of childhood wonder and fear during the holiday season. The image on this Christmas card depicts a young toddler, dressed in a charming red sweater and white collar, sitting on a plush yellow cushion. His eyes are wide with shock and fear as he reaches out to grasp the handle of a Jack-in-the-Box, a popular Victorian toy. The Jack-in-the-Box, with its intricately designed wooden casing and painted features, sits innocuously on the table behind him. As the boy pulls the string, the Jack-in-the-Box comes to life, startling the unsuspecting child with its sudden pop-up movement and loud laugh. The moment of surprise is beautifully captured in this photograph, with the boy's hand frozen mid-reach and his expression one of terror and amazement. The historical context of this image is further emphasized by the ornate Victorian decorations in the background, including a grand fireplace, a Christmas tree adorned with glass ornaments, and a beautifully embroidered tablecloth. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of childhood innocence and the magical wonder of the holiday season. It invites us to reflect on the simple joys of yesteryears and the timeless traditions that continue to bring families together during Christmas.
