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 print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century Britain, where we find ourselves in a milliner's shop. The focal point of the image is Mrs Monopolize, the wife of a local butcher, who stands at the counter adorned with an array of modern head dresses. It is evident that she is deeply engrossed in selecting her new headdress, as she carefully examines each option before making her final choice. The scene beautifully captures the essence of this era, showcasing not only the fashion trends but also the vibrant trade and occupations that thrived during this time. The skilled hatmaker or milliner can be seen attentively assisting Mrs Monopolize in her decision-making process, displaying their expertise and craftsmanship. With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), this particular print highlights Symonds' talent for social caricature. Through her artistry, she brings to life characters like Mrs Monopolize - strong-willed women who took pride in their appearance despite societal expectations. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that fashion has always played a significant role in people's lives. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals sought out unique ways to express themselves through clothing and accessories.
