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 political illustration from 1848 captures the essence of a tumultuous era in American history. In this thought-provoking artwork, we witness a scene filled with communication, fighting, and standing as five men engage in a heated debate. The cartoon-like figures exude aggression and determination, representing the intense identity politics prevalent during that time. The clever use of text adds depth to the image, highlighting themes such as elections, satire, violence, and democracy. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by society during this pivotal year. With its horizontal composition and detailed illustration technique, this print transports us back to an important chapter in our nation's past. Notably absent are any women or individuals from diverse backgrounds – reflecting the limitations imposed on participation at that time. This visual representation underscores how only men were involved in shaping political discourse during this period. The presence of historical figures like Zachary Taylor and Lewis Cass further emphasizes the significance of this piece within American culture. Clad in full suits befitting their status as presidential candidates, these influential men symbolize power and authority. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since 1848 while also reminding us of the work still needed for progress towards inclusivity and equality within our democratic system.
