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.

The Long and Short of It - A Dairy Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, depicts a scene of rural life that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The image shows a long-faced cow being milked by a farmer and his wife, both with expressions that suggest they've seen better days. The cow, with its elongated face and unhappy demeanor, seems to be expressing its displeasure at the milking process. The couple, dressed in traditional farming attire, are seen standing on either side of the cow, each holding a bucket or pail to collect the milk. The man, with a stool beneath him, appears to be in a more comfortable position than his wife, who is bent over and seems to be putting in extra effort. The double entendre in this comic postcard lies in the title of the scene, "Long-faced cow being milked." The phrase "long-faced" can be taken to mean both the physical appearance of the cow and the farmers' long-suffering expressions. The image plays on the idea of the daily challenges and hardships of farming life, where even the simple task of milking a cow can be a laborious and humorous affair. The background of the postcard shows a rolling countryside, with fields stretching out in the distance. The couple's backpacks suggest that they have been working in the fields all day, adding to the sense of hard work and dedication to their farming lifestyle. This charming and humorous postcard is a reminder of the simple joys and challenges of rural life, and the importance of finding humor in the everyday. It is a perfect addition to any collection of comic postcards or memorabilia from the 20th century.
