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
This evocative 16th century print, titled 'Theatre of Performance: A Dramatic Performance in an Inn Yard,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of theatre during this period. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the excitement and energy of a theatrical production taking place in an inn yard, a common venue for performances during this time. The print, believed to be from the late 1500s or early 1600s, depicts a large crowd gathered around a makeshift stage, with actors in elaborate costumes and masks engaged in a dramatic scene. The innkeeper, dressed in a long, flowing robe and holding a staff, looks on approvingly from the entrance of the inn. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of magic and wonder. Theatre in the 16th century was a vibrant and diverse art form, with performances taking place in a variety of settings, from grand public theatres to more intimate inn yards. These productions often featured a mix of comedy, tragedy, and history, and were a source of entertainment and social commentary for audiences. The print also serves as a reminder of the important role that inns played in the cultural and social life of communities during this time. Inns were not only places to rest and eat, but also gathering places for travelers, merchants, and locals alike. The inn yard, with its large open space, was an ideal location for performances, providing a communal setting for people to come together and share in the experience of live theatre. Overall, this print offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when theatre was a vital and integral part of daily life. It is a reminder of the power of the arts to bring people together, to entertain, and to inspire.
