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
Step right up and experience the enchanting world of Potash and Perlmutter in this delightful promotional postcard for the popular pantomime production by Montagu Glass and R. C. Megrue. First staged at the Theatre Royal in Manchester on September 4, 1916, and later touring to the Queens Theatre, this theatrical sensation quickly became a favorite among audiences during the trying times of World War I. Despite the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, the plot of Potash and Perlmutter was widely agreed to be of secondary importance. Instead, it was the lovable characters of Potash and Perlmutter that captured the hearts of theatre-goers. The comedic duo, brought to life by the George Dances Co., brought joy and laughter to the Opera House in Leicester on February 5, 1917. Montagu Glass and R. C. Megrue, renowned for their high-quality glassware and china, showcased their artistic flair in this beautifully designed postcard, which features an image of the two beloved characters standing before a backdrop of intricately detailed glass and china. The postcard, dated 1917, is a testament to the enduring power of popular entertainment to bring people together, even in the midst of adversity. So, take a moment to step back in time and immerse yourself in the magical world of Potash and Perlmutter, where laughter and joy reigned supreme, even in the face of the greatest challenges.
