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.

The image showcases a set of sheet music titled "Karyl Norman's Act," dedicated to the renowned female impersonator of the era, Karyl Norman. Born in the 1890s, Karyl Norman was an enigmatic and charismatic figure in the world of vaudeville and variety entertainment. Known for his impeccable female impersonations, he captivated audiences with his wit, charm, and extraordinary ability to convincingly embody the feminine persona. The 1920s were a time of great social change and cultural experimentation, with the emergence of jazz music and the growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ identities. Female impersonation became a popular form of entertainment during this era, and performers like Karyl Norman pushed the boundaries of gender expression on stage.

The lively rhythms and upbeat melodies of the era are reflected in the energetic and playful design of the sheet music cover.
