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 Chortle-Inducing Misadventure at the Seaside: A 20th Century Comic Postcard and the Mysterious Letter from Wife! Step back in time to the golden age of comic postcards and relive the hilarious tale of this charming yet baffling seaside scene. This delightful postcard, featuring a pretty young couple at the seaside, is not just a pretty picture; it hides a humorous secret. The couple, dressed in their Sunday best, sit on a quaint bench overlooking the vast, tranquil sea. The man, with a smug expression, reads a letter, while his wife, with a quizzical look, seems to be deep in thought. But what's that strange, puzzled expression on her face? And what could be the cause of her husband's mischievous grin? The answer lies in the letter she's holding - a letter that, upon closer inspection, reveals a series of hilariously misspelled words. The woman, with her charmingly British accent and limited literacy skills, has misread her husband's love letter from his 'girlfriend' as a letter from his 'boyfriend.' The scene is reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill postcards, known for their humorous and often risqué depictions of romantic misadventures. This postcard, however, adds a unique twist with its comical take on verbal misunderstandings. So, as you gaze upon this lovely seaside scene, take a moment to appreciate the lighthearted humor of this 20th-century comic postcard and the amusing tale it tells of love, miscommunication, and the occasional lousy spelling!
