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
This intriguing print captures the enigmatic figure of the Wonderful Miss Atkinson, known for her unique pig-like facial features. Born in Ireland and possessing a staggering fortune of £20,000, she was an eccentric character who fascinated both society and artists alike. The image is based on a drawing by George Morland and was published as an engraving in London in 1815. In this studio shot, Miss Atkinson stands proudly wearing a period costume adorned with fur accents. Her side profile showcases the intricacy of her animalistic features, with a pig's head seamlessly merging into her human body. Looking away from the viewer, she exudes an air of mystery and allure. The image not only offers a glimpse into British culture during that time but also sparks ideas about societal perceptions towards physical abnormalities and wealth. The illustration technique employed by Morland adds to its historical significance, capturing the essence of the past through Western script. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with peculiarities and challenges conventional notions of beauty. It invites us to reflect on how society has evolved in its acceptance and understanding of individuals who deviate from traditional norms.
