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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Election: Chairing the Member," a masterpiece by the renowned English artist William Hogarth, painted in 1758, offers a vivid and intriguing glimpse into the political landscape of 18th century Britain. This print depicts a chaotic and lively scene unfolding on a bustling street, where the fate of a parliamentary seat hangs in the balance. At the heart of the composition, a candidate, dressed in a smart red coat and top hat, is being physically lifted onto a horse-drawn carriage, symbolizing his election as the new member of parliament. Surrounded by a tumultuous crowd, the candidate's supporters and opponents clash in a frenzy of emotion, as they fight, plead, and bargain for influence. The chaotic energy of the crowd is further amplified by the diverse array of characters that populate the scene. From the well-dressed gentleman in the foreground, who appears to be placing a bribe, to the working-class men and women in the background, all vying for a voice in the democratic process, Hogarth expertly captures the raw passion and intensity of the election. The intricate details of the print, from the intricately rendered clothing and facial expressions to the meticulously depicted architecture and urban landscape, serve to transport the viewer back in time to the vibrant and tumultuous world of 18th century British politics. This powerful and evocative image continues to captivate and inspire, offering a unique window into the past and a testament to Hogarth's unparalleled storytelling ability. The Election: Chairing the Member stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the essence of history, and serves as a reminder of the rich and complex political traditions that have shaped the modern world. Whether viewed as a work of historical significance or as a fascinating glimpse into the past, this iconic print remains a must-see for anyone interested in the history of politics and the human spirit.
