1946 Dinner Formal Issue Meal Relaxation Suppose Television Watching Wear Shows
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.

The room is adorned with the formal decorum of a dinner party, suggesting that this moment of televisual relaxation may have occurred before or after the formal meal. The image, titled "People Watching Television at Home," is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing how the introduction of television brought people together in a new way. The black-and-white illustration, reminiscent of a classic Christmas card, depicts the group seated in a cozy sitting room, their attire indicating a sense of occasion. The television set, a prized possession in the post-war era, stands proudly in the room, its screen casting an ethereal glow over the assembled company.
