23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photo print, titled "Bead Stringers, c1880" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of women engaged in their craft as bead stringers, sitting outdoors in a doorway. Their occupation is not only an art form but also a means of livelihood for these skilled individuals. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie as the women work together, creating intricate designs with colorful beads. Among them, one lady cradles two babies in her arms, highlighting the multi-faceted roles that women played during that era - both as artisans and caretakers. Captured by renowned artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler and featured in Mortimer Menpes' publication "Whistler As I Knew Him" this monochrome portrait beautifully encapsulates the essence of traditional craftsmanship from over a century ago. Through Whistler's expert use of etching and drypoint techniques, he brings life to each individual within the frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but imagine the stories shared between these bead stringers - perhaps tales of love or laughter echoing through their conversations. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage crafts and recognizing the invaluable contributions made by hardworking individuals like these talented women.
