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
In this whimsical and slightly mischievous scene from 1864, we see a young individual from next door engaging in some light-hearted tomfoolery with the bust of Shakespeare taken from the library. During this time, it was fashionable to poke fun at the revered playwright, and this playful prank certainly seemed to strike a chord with onlookers.
The image captures a moment of levity and irreverence towards the literary giant, showcasing how even esteemed figures like Shakespeare were not immune to being the butt of jokes. The humor and camaraderie displayed in this snapshot offer a glimpse into the social dynamics of the era, where lighthearted jests could bring people together in shared amusement.
As Mrs. Scrimmings looks on disapprovingly from her window, we can almost hear the laughter and banter that must have accompanied this impromptu escapade. It serves as a reminder that even historical figures like Shakespeare were once seen as mere mortals subject to ridicule and jest.
This charming depiction of youthful exuberance and irreverent humor is a testament to human nature's timeless penchant for mischief and merriment. The spirit of fun captured in this image transcends time, reminding us that laughter has always been an essential part of life – even when it involves teasing dear old Shakespeare himself.
