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 cartoon, created in 1925, showcases a humorous take on the fashion trend of the time – the Oxford bags. The caricature features actors Peter Haddon and Rosaline Courtneidge in the midst of their performance in the play "On Change" at the Savoy Theatre. Haddon's character is depicted with a vacant expression, encapsulating the youthful spirit of the era. His attire includes the extremely baggy trousers, known as Oxford bags, which had become popular among Oxford University students during the mid-1920s. The Oxford bags, an iconic fashion statement of the 1920s, were characterized by their baggy and voluminous design. This style was a stark contrast to the more tailored and fitted trousers that were popular before the decade. The trend was embraced by young men, who wore them as a symbol of nonconformity and rebellion against traditional fashion norms. In this cartoon, Haddon's exaggerated Oxford bags serve to accentuate the comedic element of the caricature. His character's expression and the title of the play, "On Change," further emphasize the theme of transformation and adaptation to new trends. Courtneidge, on the other hand, is shown in a more conventional outfit, adding to the visual contrast between the two characters. This cartoon offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the 1920s, showcasing the iconic Oxford bags and the playful spirit of the era. With its intriguing combination of humor and historical significance, this image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the arts during the 1920s.
