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 intriguing print captured in January 1975, we witness the extraordinary lengths some people would go to secure a new car. Searles of Worthing, renowned car dealers who were known for their willingness to accept anything in part exchange for a vehicle, have truly outdone themselves this time. Sales Manager John Lyndall has been bombarded with peculiar offers including furniture, old TVs, pictures, and even a wife (which he wisely declined). However, today's trade takes the cake as Peter Nappin from Guildford arrives at the garage with his beloved cow named Daisybell. The audacity of it all! Searles of Worthing actually offered around £100 for Daisybell and plans to sell her at the local Cattle Market. It seems that no item is too unconventional or bizarre when it comes to securing a new set of wheels. Mr. Nappin will be driving away in style with his newly acquired Food Escort estate car. This snapshot from the past not only showcases an unusual trade between humans and animals but also provides us with a glimpse into the eccentricities of 1970s culture. The image serves as a reminder that sometimes our desires can lead us down unexpected paths, resulting in moments that are both humorous and unforgettable.
