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.

A Hell of a Hand - Four British Characters Engaged in a Frustrating Game of Cards
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful 20th-century postcard, published by an unknown British company, captures the essence of a lively and humorous card game session. Four individuals, two men and two women, are gathered around a small table, their faces a mix of concentration, annoyance, and amusement as they engage in a spirited game of cards. The man on the left, with a furrowed brow and clenched fist, seems particularly agitated, while his partner across the table, a woman with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, appears to relish the situation. The other man, with a quizzical expression, seems unsure of the double meaning behind the woman's verbal jab. The woman on the right, with a mischievous grin, adds fuel to the fire. The scene is reminiscent of the popular British card game, Bridge, but the true meaning behind the postcard's title, "A Hell of a Hand," is open to interpretation. Is it a reference to the frustration and intensity of the game, or a playful entendre about the partners' relationships? Regardless, this comic postcard is a testament to the enduring popularity of card games as a leisurely pastime, and the humor and camaraderie they can bring to any gathering.
