Aged Bedroom Claus Fear Maid Sack Shock Skinny Spinster Thin
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
A Merry Olde Time Christmas: A Delightful Dose of Edwardian Humor! Step back in time with this early 20th century comic postcard, featuring an amusing encounter between Father Christmas and an Old Maid. The scene unfolds in a cozy bedroom, where the Old Maid, a spinster in her middle age, lies in bed, her eyes wide with shock and fear as Father Christmas, a thin and rather skinny Santa Claus, peeks in through the window. The Old Maid's expression is priceless - a perfect blend of surprise and dismay. Father Christmas, with his sack slung over his shoulder, looks equally taken aback, as if he's stumbled upon an unexpected situation. This comical postcard, a charming relic from the Edwardian era, is a testament to the playful and lighthearted spirit of Christmas during that time. The image, with its humorous take on the traditional Father Christmas character and the Old Maid stereotype, is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day. Whether you're a fan of vintage postcards, Christmas history, or just looking for a fun and quirky addition to your collection, this delightful card is a must-have!
