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
In the vast expanse of the ocean, a solitary figure stands defiant against the elements on a small raft, waving towards a distant ship on the horizon. The silhouette of this shipwrecked man, captured in the poignant painting "Hope Springs Eternal in the Human Breast" by H.L. Oakley, encapsulates the enduring human spirit of optimism and resilience. The title of the painting is derived from a proverb by John Donne, which emphasizes the unwavering belief in the power of hope even in the face of adversity. The man, lost at sea, clings to this belief as he waves to the ship, a symbol of salvation and transport to safety. The painting's use of silhouettes adds a metaphorical layer to the image, emphasizing the contrast between the dark, uncertain waters and the light, hopeful figure of the man. The seagull flying overhead, a common symbol of freedom and new beginnings, adds to the sense of possibility and renewal. Despite the literal danger and despair of the situation, the man's hopeful wave is a reminder that even in the most challenging circumstances, the human spirit remains unbroken. The painting invites us to reflect on our own capacity for hope and resilience, and to remember that no matter how adrift we may feel, there is always the possibility of a new beginning on the horizon.
