17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
1. Title: "A Chance Encounter at the Seaside: A Man's Unintended Double Entendre" This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British company Donald McGill, captures the essence of romantic chance encounters and the power of words. The scene unfolds as a man, freshly arrived at the seaside, gazes out of his window, captivated by the sight of a pretty young woman on the promenade. The man, overcome by her beauty, reaches for a pen and ink to document his feelings on the blotter. As he writes, "Excuse scribble. I've got something in my eye!" Unbeknownst to him, the words "I've got something in my eye" can be interpreted as a double entendre, adding a humorous and unexpected layer to his declaration. The woman, with a cloche hat shading her face and a smile playing on her lips, seems to be oblivious to the man's admiration. She continues her stroll along the beachfront, leaving the man to ponder the potential implications of his seemingly innocent excuse. This charming postcard, with its intricate details and clever use of language, is a testament to the enduring appeal of romantic comedy and the power of the written word to evoke emotion and amusement. The man's unintentional double entendre adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the scene, making it a cherished keepsake from a bygone era.
