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.

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 image, hailing from the 1830s, transports us back in time to the world of William Shakespeare's enchanting comedy, "Love's Labour's Lost." In this scene, the characters Biron (pictured left) and Dumain (not depicted) engage in a heartfelt exchange, as Biron inquires about Dumain's hidden sorrow. The early modern period comes to life through the intricate details of this beautifully preserved print. The men, dressed in the fashion of the time, stand beneath a tree laden with autumnal leaves, symbolizing the transience of youth and the complexities of love. The tree also serves as a backdrop for the intense emotional labours that the characters undergo during their arduous pursuit of love. "Love's Labour's Lost" is a witty and sophisticated exploration of the trials and tribulations of romantic wooing and courtship. The play follows a group of men who, in an attempt to dedicate themselves to learning and the arts, swear off women for three years. However, their resolve is quickly put to the test when they encounter a quartet of captivating women. Biron's question to Dumain, "Where lies thy grief, O tell me, good Dumain?" sets the stage for a poignant and humorous exchange between the two friends, as they navigate the intricacies of love and the challenges of maintaining their vows. This image not only captures the essence of Shakespeare's timeless tale but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 1830s.
