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
Utamaro Kitagawa's captivating print, titled "A Japanese Mother Sleeps as Her Baby Causes Havoc," dates back to the 1790s and offers a glimpse into the everyday life of ancient Japan. The woodblock print, characterized by its polychrome and intricate detail, depicts a mother peacefully asleep on a tatami mat, oblivious to the chaos her mischievous baby is causing. The infant, with a playful grin on its face, has knocked over a flowerpot filled with water, sending waves across the floor. The artistic style of Utamaro Kitagawa, a renowned ukiyo-e artist, is evident in the delicate brushstrokes and the vibrant colors that bring this scene to life. The mother's serene expression contrasts sharply with the chaos unfolding around her, highlighting the juxtaposition between the tranquility of motherhood and the unpredictability of childhood. The print, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan, showcases the beauty and complexity of everyday life. The use of traditional Japanese motifs, such as the tatami mat and the flowerpot, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This print is not only a visual delight but also a poignant reminder of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Utamaro Kitagawa's "A Japanese Mother Sleeps as Her Baby Causes Havoc" is a masterpiece that invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the unexpected moments that make it worth living. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or the human condition.
