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 vintage print captures a piece of history with a Buchanan's Whisky advertisement from 1928. In this striking image, four sleek greyhounds are racing towards the finish line, embodying speed and elegance. The dogs are featured in an advertisement for Buchanan's Black & White Scotch whisky, showcasing the brand's association with excitement and competition.
The use of greyhounds in advertising was quite common during this time period, as they were seen as symbols of grace and agility. This particular advert is a testament to the creativity and innovation that went into marketing alcoholic beverages in the early 20th century.
The black and white color scheme adds to the timeless quality of this image, giving it a classic feel that still resonates today. It serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over the years while also highlighting the enduring appeal of whisky as a drink.
Overall, this print is not just a snapshot from January 1928 but also a window into the past, offering us insight into both historical advertising techniques and societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption. It is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era when advertisements were bold, creative, and sometimes even whimsical.
