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.

The Arrival of the Wetnurses
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by French artist Etienne Jeaurat. This exquisite piece, housed in the Musee Municipal in Laon, France, beautifully captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of wet nurses. In this scene, we are transported back to a time when wealthy families employed wet nurses to breastfeed and care for their infants. The composition showcases a diverse group of women dressed as nannies, governesses, and maids gathered around a cart filled with babies. Each woman exudes tenderness and dedication as they prepare to nurture these precious little ones. Jeaurat's attention to detail is remarkable; he skillfully portrays the emotions on each woman's face - from joyous anticipation to gentle concern. The soft lighting adds an ethereal quality to the scene, emphasizing the nurturing atmosphere that surrounds these caregivers. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of how motherhood was shared among different members of society during this era. It highlights not only the importance placed on breastfeeding but also sheds light on social dynamics and class distinctions prevalent at that time. "The Arrival of the Wetnurses" invites us into an intimate world where love and care transcend societal boundaries. It reminds us that even within historical context, there were individuals who dedicated themselves selflessly to ensuring every child received proper nourishment and affectionate care.
