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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Monday Night at Eight: A Delightful Scene from the WW2 Era This charming comic postcard, dated 1945, captures the essence of a light-hearted moment during the wartime years. Despite the end of the Second World War, coal rationing continued, making it unlikely for a fire to be lit. Yet, the caption "Monday Night at Eight" refers to a regular entertainment show broadcast by the BBC Home Service, which brought joy and distraction to families across the UK. The image, published by Raphael Tuck and drawn by an unknown artist, depicts a sweet scene of children gathered around a darkened fireside. A little girl, with rosy cheeks and a determined expression, removes the shoes of two boys, preparing to settle in for the evening's program. A faithful dog looks on, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. The caricatured children, with their exaggerated features and expressive bodies, exude innocence and amusement. Their excitement for the weekly show is palpable, a testament to the power of entertainment to bring people together, even during the most challenging of times. This postcard, with its delightful blend of wartime humour and heartwarming imagery, serves as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of the British people during the WW2 era.
