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
Title: "The Housewives' Favorite Programme: A Tale of Two Newlyweds" In this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, we find ourselves peering into the cozy living room of two newlywed women, each intently listening to their beloved radio. Dressed in their best red frocks and donning bright smiles, they appear to be fully engrossed in the latest broadcast, their eyes sparkling with excitement. The scene is set with a charmingly outdated radio, its antenna reaching towards the heavens, as if to bring down the latest gossip and entertainment straight from the airwaves. The women's expressions suggest that they are making requests for their favorite songs or programs, their voices blending together in a symphony of verbal requests that would surely make the radio jockeys of the era grin with delight. This lighthearted image captures the essence of domestic bliss and the simple pleasure of sharing a moment with a dear friend or companion. The radio, a staple of home entertainment in the 20th century, served as a connection to the outside world, bringing news, music, and laughter into the heart of the home. As we gaze upon this charming scene, we can't help but be reminded of the power of media to bring people together and create shared experiences. Whether it's the radio, television, or the internet, the joy of connecting with others through the airwaves remains a constant in our lives. This comically illustrated postcard, a product of the Donald McGill empire, is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the human connection, even in the most mundane of everyday activities. So sit back, relax, and join these two lovely ladies as they enjoy their favorite programme, a simple pleasure that transcends time and continues to bring joy to our lives.
