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
This promotional postcard showcases Theodore & Co., a popular theatrical production by H.M. Harwood and George Grossmith, which was first presented at the Gaiety Theatre in 1916. The image features the charming cast of the show, dressed in their finest attire, with Theodore, the central character, standing proudly at the forefront. Theodore & Co. was originally part of the acclaimed play "Theodore & Cie" by Marcel Nancey and Paul Gavrault, which premiered at the Theatre des Nouveautes in Paris on September 29, 1909. The music for the production was composed by Ivor Novello and Jerome Kern, adding an extra layer of allure and entertainment. As the show gained popularity, it was brought to the George Dances Co. for a tour, making its way to the Theatre Royal in Chatham on April 22, 1918. This postcard, dated 1918, was likely produced to promote the upcoming performance and entice audiences to attend. The early 1900s were an era of innovation and excitement in the world of popular entertainment, and Theodore & Co. was no exception. Set against the backdrop of World War I, this theatrical pantomime provided a much-needed escape for audiences seeking joy and diversion. The cast's jubilant expressions and vibrant costumes convey the joy and energy that would have filled the theatre during each performance. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live theatre during the 1910s and the enduring appeal of the arts, even during challenging times.
