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
On the Omnibus" is a humorous and insightful 19th-century illustration by renowned English satirist and caricaturist, John Leech. This print, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a vivid portrayal of the daily commute during the Victorian era. The scene unfolds as a crowded omnibus, a popular mode of public transport during this time, lurches forward with an air of discomfort and irritation. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, are squashed together, their faces expressing various degrees of displeasure. A top hat, precariously perched on one man's head, threatens to be crushed as the bus jostles along the cobblestone streets. In the foreground, a woman, her umbrella held protectively over her head, glares at a man who has inadvertently stepped on her basket. The man, oblivious to her irritation, looks the other way, engrossed in a newspaper. A hatbox, tucked under another passenger's seat, adds to the already cluttered and chaotic scene. Leech's masterful use of humor and social commentary in this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Victorian London. The print captures the discomfort and inconvenience of public transport, as well as the irritations and petty annoyances that come with sharing a confined space with strangers. This charming and intriguing print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of transportation, Victorian social life, or the works of John Leech. Its timeless humor and insightful commentary continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
