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 Hearty Laugh at the Coronation: A Large Lady's Double Ticket Surprise! This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century captures the playful spirit of the British people during the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. The image features a plump woman, beaming with joy and excitement, proudly displaying two Coronation tickets. The double ticket, an amusing visual pun, is sure to have elicited chuckles and raised eyebrows among spectators of the time. The woman's jubilant expression and expansive figure are reminiscent of the iconic "Fat Lady Sings" image from the Donald McGill postcard empire. McGill's humorous postcards were renowned for their double entendres and innuendos, often featuring large women in various comical situations. This postcard is a testament to the enjoyment and camaraderie shared by the British public during this special occasion. The Coronation was a time for celebration, unity, and laughter, and this postcard perfectly encapsulates the light-hearted spirit of the event. The large woman's cheerful demeanor and the double meaning of her tickets add to the overall fun and whimsy of the image. The postcard serves as a reminder of the importance of finding joy and humor in everyday life, even during grand celebrations and momentous occasions.
