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.

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
Old Father Christmas: A Traditional English Folklore Scene of Christmas Cheer with the Yule Log, c. 1848 Old Father Christmas, a cherished figure of English folklore, is depicted in this illustration from the 1840s. The jolly old man is shown carrying a wassail bowl, a symbol of festive cheer and communal drinking, in one hand, while the other hand holds his classic staff. The Yule Log, an essential element of ancient winter solstice celebrations, is balanced on his back. The log, believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits, is adorned with holly and ivy, further emphasizing the connection between Christmas and the natural world. The Old Father Christmas figure wears a wreath of holly on his head, symbolizing the everlasting cycle of life and renewal. His face, filled with warmth and merriment, is greeted with the lines of the traditional English poem, "What, Father Christmas! Here again? With yule log on your back, and mighty store of racy things well stuffed within your pack. Hail, cheerer! Blessed be your face, great king of frost and cold! For, notwithstanding all your beard, you're only twelve months old." This illustration, from the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and vibrant folkloric traditions of Old Father Christmas and the Yule Log during the Christmas season in England during the 1840s.
