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.

The image showcases an unusual landscape angle that beautifully captures the customs and ceremonies surrounding this beloved event. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a general view of a bustling dining room filled with enthusiastic diners indulging in their oyster feast. The long table stretches across the frame, adorned with platters brimming with succulent oysters - a true delicacy enjoyed by many during this celebration. The crowd appears to be engrossed in lively conversations and laughter as they partake in this cherished tradition. Their animated expressions reflect not only their enjoyment of the meal but also their appreciation for community gatherings that have been an integral part of European culture for centuries. This archival photograph transports us back to early 20th-century England, where such feasts were eagerly anticipated social events. It serves as a testament to how food can bring people together, fostering camaraderie and shared experiences.
