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
In this black and white portrait, captured by H. F. Davis in 1928, we are transported back in time to witness a unique approach to body shaping. The photograph showcases a woman using a vibrating belt known as the "Hip Trimmer" to sculpt her hips into the desired shape of that era. The image exudes an air of curiosity and intrigue as we observe this innovative piece of medical equipment being employed for cosmetic purposes. The woman's focused expression suggests determination and perhaps even hope for achieving the ideal feminine figure prevalent during that period. Davis' masterful composition highlights both the subject's engagement with the device and the intricate details of its design. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth, emphasizing every contour on her face while simultaneously drawing attention to the mechanical contraption wrapped around her waist. This print serves as a fascinating historical artifact, offering us insight into societal beauty standards from nearly a century ago. It reminds us how perceptions of attractiveness have evolved over time, shedding light on our ever-changing relationship with body image. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, let us reflect on how far we have come in embracing diverse forms of beauty while acknowledging that each generation has its own peculiar methods for pursuing physical perfection.
