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 this evocative silhouette by H.L. Oakley, entitled 'Enough to Make a Saint Swear,' a monk's tranquil contemplation is disrupted by an unwelcome intrusion. The serene figure, with his shaved head and robes, sits in deep meditation under the gnarled branches of an oak tree. His peaceful repose is shattered, however, as he watches in disbelief as a plump and mischievous cat knocks over a jug of milk at his feet. The monk's expression is one of annoyance and exasperation, his hands clenched in frustration as the cat laps up the spilled milk with relish. This metaphorical image speaks to the universal experience of having one's peace disrupted by unexpected events or the actions of others. The literal spilling of milk serves as a symbol for the figurative upheaval of our plans and expectations. The monk's reaction, with its hint of profanity in the title, adds a touch of humor and relatability to the scene. The use of silhouettes adds a timeless and almost mythic quality to the image, inviting us to reflect on the human condition and the challenges we face in our quest for inner peace and tranquility.
