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.

Regency Gentleman Rider at a Crossroads: A Tale of Misadventure and Mistaken Directions This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, after an illustration by Henry Bunbury, depicts a Regency gentleman rider at a crossroads, his face obscured by the brim of his hat as he struggles to navigate through a storm. The horse, its coat slicked with rain, rears up in apprehension, its ears pricked forward in alertness. A carriage, drawn by two horses, follows closely behind, the couple inside equally blinded by the wind and rain. The image is taken from Geoffrey Gambado's An Academy for Grown Horsemen and Annals of Horsemanship, published in London in 1809. This caricature, titled 'How to Lose Your Way,' humorously highlights the challenges and uncertainties that come with riding in inclement weather and at crossroads. The gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the day, clutches the reins tightly in one hand and holds the bit in the other, while his whip dangles loosely at his side. His saddlebags are adorned with the initials 'H.Y.D.E.' - an acronym for 'Here You Are, Dear Edward,' a common phrase used to express frustration and disbelief when one arrives at an unexpected destination. The scene transports us back to the Regency era, an age of elegance, sport, and adventure, where gentlemen rode horses for pleasure and leisure. The intricately detailed engraving, with its vibrant colours and lively energy, invites us to imagine the story behind this moment of confusion and uncertainty, and to appreciate the beauty and challenges of horse riding in the English countryside.
