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 19th century photograph, titled "Fireguard," showcases an intricately hand-carved wooden accessory that once played a crucial role in Asian cultures. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure. The Fireguard, as it is called, is a stunning example of the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century. This accessory, believed to have originated in Japan, was designed to protect the lower legs and feet from the heat of carriages and horses. The close-up image reveals the intricate carving on the Fireguard, with its intricate patterns and delicate details. The wooden boot, adorned with intricate designs, appears both functional and decorative. The emergence of this accessory is a testament to the importance placed on fashion and appearance during this era. The Fireguard's owner is shown in the photograph, wearing traditional Asian clothing, with a cautious expression on his face and a well-groomed mustache. His attire, consisting of a dress and sandals, complements the Fireguard, adding to the overall aesthetic of the image. The rich colors and textures of the Fireguard and the man's clothing stand out against the plain background, making for a striking studio shot. This photograph, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the heritage art and craftsmanship that once thrived in Asia and continues to inspire artists and fashion enthusiasts today.
