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
This print from 1888 showcases Maison Jays mourning outfitters, a prominent British fashion establishment of the 19th century. The image captures a woman dressed in mourning attire on board a ship's deck. She stands elegantly against the railing, her umbrella and lifebelt serving as poignant symbols of protection amidst the turbulent waters. The photograph offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's approach to death and mourning customs. Maison Jays specialized in providing clothing specifically designed for those grieving the loss of loved ones, catering to their unique needs during this somber period. The woman's outfit reflects this mournful aesthetic with its dark colors and modest design. The unknown creator skillfully illustrates both the fashion trends of the time and societal attitudes towards death. This snapshot transports us back to an era where mourning was not only an emotional experience but also deeply intertwined with one's appearance. Preserved within the pages of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, this historical artifact serves as a testament to Maison Jays' influence on women's wear during that era. It is through such images that we can appreciate how fashion played an integral role in expressing cultural values and social norms throughout history. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an anonymous artist over a century ago, we are reminded of our connection to past generations and their distinct ways of navigating grief while still embracing style.
