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 print from The Advertising Archives takes us back to the glamorous era of the 1930s in the United Kingdom. In this snapshot, we are transported to a time when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also considered stylish and sophisticated. The focus of the image is on a pack of Wills cigarettes, specifically their renowned "Gold Flake" brand. The photograph exudes an air of elegance as it showcases a group of individuals indulging in this popular pastime. With their fashionable attire and poised demeanor, they epitomize the quintessential British charm that characterized this era. Each person holds a lit cigarette delicately between their fingers, creating wisps of smoke that add an ethereal quality to the scene. As we gaze at this vintage advertisement, we are reminded of how advertising has evolved over time. This simple yet powerful image captures our attention without relying on flashy graphics or excessive text. It harkens back to an age when tobacco companies relied on subtlety and sophistication to entice consumers. While it's important not to overlook the potential health risks associated with smoking, there is no denying that this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with nostalgia and allure. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of early twentieth-century British culture.
