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 showcases the life of a colonial American laundress in the late 18th century. The English line engraving, based on an illustration by Hugh Thompson from 1894, beautifully captures the essence of this hardworking woman's daily life. Dressed in a traditional colonial dress and wearing an apron and bonnet, the laundress stands beside a washbasin with her hands immersed in soapy water. Her focused expression reflects her dedication to her craft as she diligently works to clean clothes for the colonists. The image provides us with a glimpse into the domestic industry that played a crucial role in colonial America. As one of many skilled workers, this anonymous craftswoman contributed to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene within society. The print transports us back to a time when women like her were essential figures in their communities. Through their laborious efforts, they ensured that clothes were washed thoroughly despite limited resources or technology available at that time. As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded of the importance of recognizing these unsung heroes who shaped our past. Their contributions may have been overlooked throughout history but through prints like these, we can appreciate their vital roles within society. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece as part of its collection dedicated to preserving historical moments through artistry.
