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 vintage engraving, titled "Charons Boat Or The Ghosts Of All The Talents Taking Their Last Voyage" takes us on a journey through history and politics. In this intricate artwork, we witness a group of naked Whig politicians crossing the River Styx in a boat named the Broad Bottom Packet. As they sail towards their uncertain fate, the torn sail bears the inscription "Catholic Emancipation" symbolizing one of the key issues of their time. The center mast proudly displays the Prince of Wales feathers and motto "Ich Dien" representing royalty and power. On the far side, shades of historical figures such as Cromwell, Charles Fox, and Robespierre wave to them from beyond. Above them soar three birds that soil both the boat and politicians below while overhead fly the Three Fates on brooms. Notably emerging from the water is Sidmouth's head, adding an element of surprise to this thought-provoking scene. This romanticized illustration captures a moment in Victorian history when political ideologies clashed amidst societal changes. With its aged appearance and illustrative technique reminiscent of traditional engravings, this print evokes nostalgia for bygone eras. It serves as a testament to historic artistry and cultural significance while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon past events that have shaped our present-day world. This engraved image from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us into a realm where art meets history—a reminder that even in moments long gone by, echoes of political struggles continue to resonate with contemporary society.
