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 evocative photograph, titled "Children Sledging in Halifax, West Yorkshire," captures the joy and innocence of childhood during a winter wonderland scene. Taken by renowned photographer John Gay between the years 1962 and 1978, the image portrays a group of children gleefully sliding down a snow-covered road on their sleds. The crisp, white snow blankets the landscape, transforming the ordinary road into a magical winter playground. The children, bundled up against the cold, laugh and shout as they make their way down the hill, leaving behind a trail of footprints in the fresh snow. The simple pleasure of sledging is a cherished memory for many of us, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates that nostalgic feeling. The wintery scene transports us back to our own childhoods, or perhaps to the childhoods of our parents and grandparents. It's a reminder of the simple joys of recreation and leisure, and the beauty of nature in its rawest form. The photograph also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and children could spend hours playing outside in the snow. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the importance of cherishing these moments, whether it's sledging down a snowy hill or simply enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
