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.

Mother And Child - A Captivating Glimpse into 19th Century London Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing photo print, captured by Paul Gavarni in circa 1850, offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the social fabric of St Giles, London. The drawing depicts a mother breastfeeding her child while indulging in an unconventional act for the time - smoking a pipe. The image portrays the resilience and resourcefulness of women during this era, as they navigated their roles as mothers within challenging circumstances. It highlights the complexities of daily life in impoverished areas like St Giles, where poverty often intertwined with cultural practices. The contrast between nurturing and self-indulgence is strikingly portrayed through this powerful artwork. While providing sustenance to her baby through breastfeeding, the mother simultaneously seeks solace or escape from her harsh reality by engaging in tobacco consumption. Gavarni's pencil drawing captures not only the physical structure but also exposes deeper societal issues prevalent at that time. It sheds light on English culture and its acceptance or tolerance towards such behaviors amidst prevailing hardships. This archival piece invites us to reflect upon historical contexts surrounding motherhood, poverty, gender roles, and even health implications associated with smoking during that period. It serves as a reminder that art can be both aesthetically captivating and socially significant – offering us invaluable insights into our collective human experience across centuries.
