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 vintage print from 1904 showcases an important announcement made by the renowned arts and crafts firm, Morris & Co., founded by the influential designer, William Morris. The announcement served as a warning to the public against misleading firms that were attempting to pass off inferior imitations of Morris & Co.'s authentic designs as their own. At the turn of the 20th century, the arts and crafts movement gained significant popularity in Britain, with Morris & Co. being at the forefront of this cultural shift. Morris & Co.'s commitment to producing high-quality, handcrafted designs, inspired by traditional techniques and natural motifs, set them apart from mass-produced goods. However, as the demand for Morris & Co.'s designs grew, so did the number of firms seeking to capitalize on their success by producing and selling imitations. The announcement in this print was a bold move by Morris & Co. to protect their reputation and ensure that their clients received genuine, authentic products. The text of the announcement reads, "Morris & Co. wish to remind their clients that they are the only firm authorized to sell the designs and manufactures bearing the name of Morris & Co. Any other firm or individual selling such designs or manufactures is doing so without our authority and cannot guarantee their authenticity." This announcement not only served as a warning to consumers but also as a testament to Morris & Co.'s dedication to quality and authenticity. The print itself is a beautiful example of the intricate, hand-drawn designs that Morris & Co. was known for, and serves as a reminder of the importance of authenticity and integrity in the world of art and design.
