17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Heartwarming Moment Amidst the Darkness of War: A Couple's Romance in the Blackout, 1940s Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War II, love and romance continued to flourish, even in the most unexpected places. This charming comic postcard from the 1940s, titled 'Couple in the Blackout,' captures a tender moment between a young couple as they sit together in the dark, shielded only by the dim light of a torch. The woman, with her pretty features and rosy cheeks, gazes lovingly into the eyes of her boyfriend, who confidently reassures her that he is not afraid to hold her hand in the midst of the blackout. Their smiles radiate a sense of joy and comfort, a testament to the enduring power of love and connection, even in the midst of war. The image, created by renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, masterfully captures the spirit of the era with its humorous and lighthearted tone. The couple's courage and determination to find joy in the darkness resonated deeply with the British public during this time, and the postcard quickly became a popular item for courting couples to exchange. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of times.
