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 black and white portrait, we are transported back to the year 1840 in England, where a rebellious scene unfolds before our eyes. The photograph captures a group of domestic servants sitting comfortably around a crackling fireplace, seemingly unfazed by the persistent ringing of a bell echoing from upstairs. Their nonchalant expressions suggest an act of defiance against their duties. The caption accompanying this intriguing print reads, "Oh ah let em ring again" perfectly encapsulating the insubordinate spirit exhibited by these individuals. Created by the talented artist George Cruikshank, known for his satirical illustrations and social commentary, this image offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and dynamics within households during that era. The composition showcases both male and female figures of varying ages gathered around a table near the hearth. Their relaxed postures imply camaraderie among them despite their hierarchical roles as domestic staff. This snapshot provides valuable insight into kitchen scenes and domestic life in 19th-century Europe. Preserved through archival means, this photograph is an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to reflect on societal norms and power dynamics prevalent at that time. By ignoring the incessant ringing bell from upstairs, these defiant servants challenge traditional expectations placed upon them while asserting their agency within their confined world. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to ponder themes such as rebellion, class struggle, and individual autonomy within the context of Victorian society – all captured beautifully through General Photographic Agency's lens.
