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.

Hot Bath Before Retiring
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Delightfully Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard Step back in time with this charming and amusingly British comic postcard, titled "Hot Bath Before Retiring," from the 20th century. Featuring a plump, contented woman soaking in a steaming hot bath, she gazes blissfully at her husband, who sits on the edge of the tub, puffing on a pipe and reading the newspaper. The caption above their heads reads, "Plenty of Time for a Verbal Discussion." The humor in this postcard lies in the double entendre of the phrase "Plenty of Time for a Verbal Discussion." While the scene appears peaceful and romantic, the phrase suggests that the couple may be engaging in a lively, perhaps even heated, conversation. The use of the word "verbal" adds an element of fun and playfulness to the situation, as the couple seems to be enjoying each other's company and engaging in a bit of light-hearted banter. The comic style of the postcard adds to its appeal, with the exaggerated features of the couple and the expressive body language of the woman, who seems to be fully immersed in the warm water. The man, with his pipe and newspaper, is a classic representation of a relaxed, retired husband. This postcard is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of domestic life and the importance of humor and connection in a relationship. Whether displayed in a vintage collection or used as a unique and fun greeting card, "Hot Bath Before Retiring" is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates a good laugh and a bit of British humor.
