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.

Capturing a Glimpse of History - Two Gamekeepers Tagging Swans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait, taken by the renowned Topical Press Agency in England circa 1909, transports us back to an era when animal welfare was still being shaped. In this rare snapshot, two gamekeepers are seen delicately tagging swans, showcasing their dedication towards preserving these majestic creatures. The image exudes a sense of tranquility as the graceful swans peacefully coexist with their human counterparts. The vertical composition emphasizes the towering presence of these elegant birds while also highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation during that time. Set against a picturesque country backdrop, one can almost feel the crisp English air and hear nature's symphony echoing through this timeless scene. It serves as a reminder of how hunting and sport were once intertwined with our relationship to animals. As we gaze upon this archival print, it evokes curiosity about early 20th-century Europe and its evolving attitudes towards animal themes. Beyond its artistic value lies a deeper connection to human interest – an exploration into our shared responsibility for protecting Earth's diverse fauna. This photograph is not just an exquisite piece from Topical Press Agency; it encapsulates history frozen in time. A testament to both artistry and preservation efforts, it invites us to reflect on our own role in safeguarding the natural world for future generations.
