Footwear Shape Shaped Shoe Shoes
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
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this beautiful and unique Christmas card featuring white flowers in a charming shoe-shaped design. Dated circa 1890s, this antique card exudes an air of elegance and whimsy, transporting us back in time to an era of romanticism and nostalgia. The card's centerpiece is a delicate arrangement of pristine white flowers, arranged artfully against a backdrop of soft blue hues. The petals are delicately textured, their pure white color a stark contrast against the deep green leaves that add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The flowers are arranged in a cascading design, spilling out of the open-toed shoe, creating a sense of abundance and generosity. The shoe itself is a work of art in its own right, with intricate details and a delicate bow adorning the instep. The design is reminiscent of the ornate footwear popular during the Victorian era, a time when shoes were considered fashionable accessories rather than mere functional items. The shoe's shape, with its pointed toe and high heel, is a nod to the fashion trends of the time, adding to the card's historical authenticity. The card's overall design is simple yet elegant, with a minimalist approach that allows the beauty of the flowers and the shoe to take center stage. The soft blue background adds a calming effect, while the green leaves provide a touch of earthiness and balance to the composition. This charming Christmas card is a testament to the beauty and creativity of the late Victorian era, a time when art and craftsmanship were highly valued. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of the holiday season, and a beautiful addition to any collection of vintage Christmas cards.
