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.

The Work of a Drop of Milk at the Belleville Dispensary (triptych),
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating oil painting by Henry Jules Jean Geoffroy, offers a glimpse into the world of childcare and healthcare in early 20th century France. The triptych, completed in 1903, depicts a scene at the Belleville Dispensary, a Parisian institution dedicated to the health and well-being of children. In the central panel, a doctor, identified as Gaston Variot, carefully examines a baby boy on a scale, while a mother, cradling another child, waits anxiously nearby. The doctor's serious expression and the mother's concerned gaze convey the importance of the moment, as the infant's weight is recorded for his health record. The left panel shows a group of women, likely nurses or volunteers, preparing bottles and measuring out milk for the infants at the dispensary. The warm colors and gentle expressions on their faces suggest a sense of nurturing and care. The right panel presents a scene of advice and consultation, as a mother and a woman, possibly a nurse or a doctor, discuss the care of her child. The mother's earnest expression and the woman's attentive posture underscore the importance of knowledge and expertise in childcare. The painting, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a poignant portrayal of the daily workings of a childcare institution during a time when the importance of science and medicine in childrearing was increasingly recognized. The influence of Louis Pasteur's groundbreaking discoveries in microbiology can be seen in the sterile environment and the meticulous care given to the infants. Overall, "The Work of a Drop of Milk at the Belleville Dispensary (triptych)" is a testament to the dedication and compassion of those who cared for children during this era, and a reminder of the enduring importance of healthcare and motherhood.
