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.

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 titled "A Cotton Cleaner 'Thun-Thun-Aie-Wallah', India, 1870 circa" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Bombay. The watercolour, painted by Captain Cornelius Francis James of the Bombay Staff Corps, showcases a Bahna or cotton cleaner diligently at work. Intriguingly captured, this image portrays the daily life and culture of Indian society during the late 19th century. The cotton cleaner can be seen removing dirt and debris from loose cotton using a mallet that generates vibrations on a suspended bow string. This traditional method highlights the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Indian textile workers. The vibrant colors and attention to detail in Captain James' artwork bring this scene to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Mumbai's busy streets. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Captain James and his desire to document everyday moments within Indian society. Part of a larger collection depicting various aspects of Indian life, this particular piece offers an intimate glimpse into an essential occupation within the textile industry. Through this image, we gain insight into not only how textiles were produced but also appreciate the dedication and skill required for such labor-intensive tasks. Overall, this print is not just a visual delight but also provides valuable historical context about India's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to global textile production.
