Cold Redbreast Robin Robins Saucepan Shelter Sheltering Snowy Survival Tits Wren
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
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian Christmas card image, dating from the 1890s. The scene features a robin redbreast perched on a snow-covered branch, offering shelter and warmth to two blue tits huddled together in a cozy nook beneath a saucepan. The brown wren peeks out from the shelter, curious about the wintery scene unfolding before him. This heartwarming tableau captures the essence of survival and companionship during the coldest months of the year. Robins, with their bright red breasts, are a beloved symbol of the holiday season and are often depicted in Christmas cards and decorations. Blue tits, with their distinctive blue-grey backs and yellow underparts, are common birds found throughout Europe and are known for their agility and adaptability. Wrens, the smallest of all British birds, are also frequent inhabitants of gardens and woodlands. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and warmth, transporting us to a simpler time. The use of natural elements, such as the snow-covered branches and the rustic saucepan, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This beautiful card would have been a cherished holiday greeting, reminding friends and family of the joys of the season and the beauty of nature, even in the harshest of winter conditions.
