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
In this enchanting wood engraving from 1883, we are transported back in time to witness the timeless tradition of "Bringing home the Yule Log". Father Christmas takes center stage as he skillfully drives a team of majestic cart horses, pulling a timber wagon through a winter wonderland. The scene is beautifully captured by Heywood Sumner's intricate headpiece featured in "The English Illustrated Magazine". As snowflakes gently fall around them, the horses' breath mingles with the crisp winter air, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The Yule Log, symbolizing warmth and light during the festive season, rests securely on the wagon - its crackling flames eagerly awaited by families gathered at home. This image not only showcases the importance of wood as fuel for heating homes during cold winters but also highlights traditional methods of transportation that were prevalent in Victorian England. It reminds us of simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were relied upon for essential tasks like delivering firewood. Universal Images Group (UIG) has preserved this historical gem within their vast archive collection. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a nostalgic reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and resilience amidst harsh winters. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate how they shaped our present-day celebrations filled with warmth and joy.
