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 woodcut print from 1861, we are transported to Yokohama, Japan during a time of cultural exchange and trade. The image depicts an English man engrossed in examining and sorting fabrics for potential trade. His focused expression reflects the importance of his role as a merchant in this bustling port city. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice a portrait hanging on the wall behind him, possibly depicting his wife. This small detail adds a personal touch to the otherwise business-oriented setting, reminding us that even amidst their professional pursuits, these foreign traders carried reminders of home with them. The intricate details and vibrant colors of Sadahide Utagawa's woodcut bring life to every element within the frame - from the texture of each fabric swatch to the patterns adorning them. The composition draws attention to both the seated man and his surroundings; an elegant chair signifies comfort while Japanese-inspired motifs on the walls hint at Westernization during Japan's Edo period. This artwork not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a testament to cross-cultural connections formed through commerce. It invites viewers into a world where East meets West, where tradition intertwines with modernity. Through this single image, we glimpse into an era defined by exploration and adaptation – one that shaped Yokohama into what it is today: a thriving hub of international trade and cultural fusion.
