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 photograph, taken by the talented John Gay in the 1950s, transports us to a quaint house nestled in the picturesque village of Lacock, Wiltshire. The image depicts two enchanting feline companions gracefully perched beside a pair of slippers on a sunlit window sill. Their piercing eyes seem to hold secrets untold as they curiously observe their surroundings. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and domestic bliss, capturing a timeless moment frozen in history. The cats' sleek fur glistens under the soft light that filters through the windowpane, while their delicate paws rest gently on the worn-out slippers. It is as if they have claimed this cozy spot as their own sanctuary amidst the world outside. John Gay's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only these beautiful creatures but also offers us a glimpse into everyday life during that era. This simple yet evocative scene reminds us of cherished moments spent at home with our beloved pets – those quiet interludes where time seems to stand still. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of the enduring bond between humans and animals throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our fast-paced modern lives, there is solace and joy to be found in sharing our homes with these graceful creatures who bring warmth and companionship into our lives.
