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 takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases female undergraduates hard at work in the Girton Laboratory, located within Cambridge University. Founded in 1869, Girton College was groundbreaking as it became the first institution to offer higher education exclusively for women. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these pioneering women inspecting scientific equipment with utmost concentration and dedication. Their faces reflect determination and curiosity as they examine a collection of objects that includes bottles and other laboratory apparatuses. This scene is not only a testament to their commitment to learning but also symbolizes their triumph over societal barriers that limited educational opportunities for women. The composition of the photograph beautifully captures both the vastness of the laboratory space and the meticulous attention given by each student. The landscape format allows us to appreciate not only their individual efforts but also highlights how they were part of a larger group working towards expanding knowledge in science and technology. Reinhold Thiele's masterful photography skills bring this historical moment alive once again, reminding us of the importance of equal access to education regardless of gender or background. This archival piece serves as an inspiring reminder of progress made while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
