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
This intriguing print captures the whimsical yet alarming scene of John Mytton, the notorious 18th-century character known as Mytton as Humphrey or Mytton as Wayman, holding up the doctor and clergyman after a dining engagement at Halston House. Dated between 1796 and 1834, this humorous vignette presents an unexpected turn of events, as the dapper gentlemen are startled by their ostensible host, disguised in the garb of a smock-wearing highwayman. Mytton, a local squire from Apperley, Worcestershire, was renowned for his eccentricities and love for pranks. This particular escapade, which has become the stuff of local legend, involved inviting guests to dine at his estate, only to ambush them upon their departure. The doctor and clergyman, unsuspecting victims of Mytton's antics, would have been both terrified and amused by the encounter. Mytton's choice of disguise as a highwayman adds an element of danger and intrigue to the scene. Nimrod, the name he adopted for these escapades, only served to heighten the sense of mystery and adventure. The print, with its lively composition and vivid details, effectively conveys the surprise, terror, and ultimately, the joke that was Mytton's modus operandi. This scene offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the eccentricities and mischievous spirit of a bygone era. The print serves as a reminder that even in the most ordinary of situations, there is always room for a little lark.
