17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 titled "Crossing the pond CC73_01138" by Henry W Taunt takes us on a nostalgic journey to rural Oxfordshire in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases a young man skillfully maneuvering his horse-drawn cart across the village pond, laden with a hefty barrel. It is believed that he was the water carrier, responsible for supplying this quaint community with its essential resource. The scene exudes tranquility as we witness this everyday task unfolding against the backdrop of idyllic countryside charm. The horse's powerful presence adds an air of strength and reliability to this timeless tableau. As they traverse through shallow waters, ripples gently disturb the surface, reflecting both man and beast in perfect harmony. Henry Taunt's expert composition captures not only the practicality but also the beauty inherent in such simple moments of rural life. His lens transports us back to an era where reliance on nature's resources was paramount, reminding us of our deep connection to land and water. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how communities once thrived by working together harmoniously amidst picturesque landscapes. It invites contemplation about our own relationship with nature today and encourages appreciation for those who came before us, shaping their lives around these fundamental elements: horses, ponds, people - all intertwined within this snapshot frozen in time.
