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.

In this mesmerizing image, we are introduced to Frankie Foster, a circus clown at Bertram Mills Circus in 1938. Frankie's vibrant and eccentric costume immediately catches our attention, with its bold colors and intricate details that reflect the creativity of circus performers during that era. His face is adorned with a classic clown makeup, complete with a red nose and exaggerated smile lines that conceal his true emotions behind an air of joviality.

It serves as a reminder of how much has changed since then while also evoking feelings of longing for simpler times filled with wonderment and innocence.
