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
In this charming photograph from the late 1890s, a group of amused London children gather round with wide-eyed curiosity to watch a traditional Punch and Judy puppet show on a bustling street corner in New Oxford Street. The children's laughter and excitement are palpable as they lean in to get a better view of the colorful and intricately crafted puppets brought to life by the skillful hands of Mr. J. Bland. The iconic Punch and Judy show, a British institution that has been entertaining audiences since the 17th century, was a popular form of street entertainment in London during this time. The children's rapt attention is a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic form of storytelling, which features the mischievous antics of the character Punch and his domestic partner Judy, as well as their various friends and adversaries. The vibrant costumes and lively performances of the puppets captivated generations of children, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the joy and wonder that these shows brought to young audiences over a century ago. The street scene in the background of the photograph adds to the sense of excitement and energy, with the hustle and bustle of New Oxford Street providing a lively backdrop to the simple pleasure of a puppet show. The children's varied expressions of delight and amusement, as well as their diverse attire, reflect the rich cultural and social fabric of London during this time. This photograph is a delightful reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of traditional forms of entertainment.
