Annual Penrose Telephone

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Woman on the Telephone, 1911 This illustration, created in 1911, depicts a woman intently focused on a telephone conversation. The image, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the early days of telecommunication and the role it played in connecting people across great distances. The woman's posture and expression convey a sense of importance and urgency. Her hand cradles the receiver, her fingers poised to type out a message or respond to one. Her gaze is fixed on the telephone, her eyes narrowed in concentration. The telephone itself, with its rotary dial and curled cord, is a testament to the technology of the time. The illustration is reminiscent of the Penrose Annual, a popular publication that showcased the latest in art, design, and culture. The 1910s were a period of rapid technological advancement, and the telephone was one of the most significant innovations of the era. This illustration captures the excitement and intrigue surrounding this new form of communication. The woman on the telephone is a symbol of the modern, independent woman. She is in control of her communication, able to connect with others at will. The telephone represented a newfound freedom and convenience, allowing people to maintain relationships and conduct business from the comfort of their own homes. This illustration is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the early 20th century and the role that technology played in shaping it. The woman on the telephone is a reminder of the power of communication and the enduring allure of the telephone as a means of connecting with others.
