Cigarette Cloak Crouching Helping Match Matches Path Protecting Rambling Sheltering Small Tethered William Small Wind Windbreak Print Collector2
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.

The Last Match, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of rural life in the late 19th century. In this exquisite color print by William Small, we are transported to a windswept countryside where a woman walks along a path, her cloak billowing in the gusty weather. The artist masterfully captures the play of light and shadow on the landscape, creating an atmospheric scene that evokes both tranquility and anticipation. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn to a tethered pig seeking shelter from the wind behind a makeshift windbreak. A man crouches nearby, carefully lighting his cigarette with assistance from another woman who holds out a match for him. This small act of kindness amidst harsh conditions speaks volumes about human connection and support. The Victorian-era attire worn by these figures adds an air of elegance to the scene while also emphasizing their vulnerability against nature's forces. The composition skillfully balances elements of nature and humanity, highlighting their interdependence. "The Last Match" not only showcases Small's artistic prowess but also serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when people relied on each other for survival in remote areas like this British countryside setting. It invites us to reflect on our own relationships with others and appreciate how even small gestures can make all the difference in challenging circumstances.
