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 print takes us back in time to the heart of a traditional farmhouse kitchen at Gwendreath Farmhouse, Grade Ruan, Cornwall. The interior view reveals a scene that exudes warmth and coziness, where cats find solace beside a crackling coal-fired kitchen range. Captured by the talented photographer John Gay between 1950 and 1965, this image encapsulates the essence of rural life during that era. The composition is filled with rustic charm as we witness these feline companions basking in the radiant heat emanating from the stove. Their contented expressions speak volumes about their appreciation for this simple pleasure amidst their daily routines on the farm. It's as if they have found their own little sanctuary within this bustling kitchen. The photograph not only showcases these adorable cats but also offers insight into historical domesticity. The presence of a coal-fired range reminds us of an era when such appliances were essential for cooking meals and providing warmth throughout the household. John Gay's skilled eye has beautifully captured both the aesthetic appeal and emotional resonance of this moment in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported to an idyllic past where simplicity reigned supreme and animals played an integral role in our everyday lives. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our enduring connection with nature and how even small creatures can bring immense joy to our homes.
