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
This music cover, titled "The Sea Serpent Polka," dates back to the mid-1850s and was created by the Italian artist Carlo Minasi. The cover showcases a lively and humorous scene, with a naval sailor, dressed in a Victorian-era navy uniform, playing a musical instrument on the deck of a ship. The sailor, with a mischievous grin, appears to be serenading a lady in a flowing dress, who is standing nearby. However, the tranquility of the scene is disrupted by the presence of a fantastical sea serpent, which wraps itself around the ship's mast. The serpent's long, coiled body is adorned with intricate patterns, and its large, expressive eyes seem to gaze intently at the couple. Its long, sharp teeth and extended tongue add an element of comic humor to the image. The title of the polka, "The Sea Serpent Polka," is written in elegant script at the top of the cover, along with the names of the composers, Duff and Hodgson, and the publisher, L. Minasi & Co., based in London. The image is further enhanced by the use of vibrant colors and intricate details, which transport us back to the 1850s and the Victorian era. This cover is a delightful example of the whimsical and imaginative illustrations that were popular during this period. It combines elements of music, dance, fantasy, and humor, making it a fascinating and intriguing piece of historical art.
