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 print from the early 1900s showcases a mesmerizing scene on Cliff Road in Newquay, Cornwall. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of this coastal town, an unexpected sight unfolds before our eyes. A line of two majestic elephants and three graceful camels gracefully pass by the historic Newquay Railway Station. Intriguingly, perched atop the second elephant is a man adorned in an elaborate costume. His presence suggests that this enchanting procession may be linked to the renowned Bostock and Wombwell Menagerie, known for their extraordinary animal exhibitions during that era. The image captures a moment frozen in time—a fusion of circus-like excitement and fairground charm. The animals' calm demeanor as they navigate through the bustling streets hints at their well-trained nature under the guidance of skilled mahouts. As we delve into this photograph's rich details, it becomes evident that it encapsulates not only a unique slice of Cornish history but also evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity. It transports us back to a time when such spectacles were cherished sources of entertainment for locals and visitors alike. While we are unable to credit this remarkable snapshot to any specific photographer, its existence within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection serves as a testament to its enduring significance. This print immortalizes an extraordinary moment where animals seamlessly coexist with human society—captivating hearts then as it does now.
