31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photo print, titled "Scenes in a laundry, 1884" offers a glimpse into the bustling world of Victorian-era laundry workers. The image showcases the manageress and female workers diligently toiling away, with the unexpected presence of children lending an air of both innocence and concern. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the arduous labor involved in washing clothes during that era. The women are engrossed in their tasks, surrounded by piles of linens waiting to be cleaned. Meanwhile, young boys and girls can be seen assisting them - a stark reminder of child labor practices prevalent at the time. The mangle machine stands prominently in the background, symbolizing both progress and hardship within this industry. It is a testament to human ingenuity while also serving as a reminder of physical strain endured by these hardworking individuals. Amidst all this activity lies an underlying theme: health and hygiene. In an era when cleanliness was highly valued but often difficult to achieve due to limited resources, these dedicated women worked tirelessly to ensure garments were spotless for their clients. As we contemplate this intriguing photograph from Ann Ronan Pictures' collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then. We must acknowledge the sacrifices made by those who came before us while striving towards fair employment practices for all - ensuring that no child's innocence is compromised for economic gain.
