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 photo print, captured by the talented lens of John Gay in the late 1950s, transports us back to a simpler time in Thaxted, Essex. The scene unfolds with an air of tenderness and joy as we find ourselves looking down upon a group of women gathered around a pram containing a precious bundle of new life. Their faces are filled with adoration as they coo and fuss over this tiny miracle. In the background stands a man, presumably the proud father, observing this heartwarming sight with affectionate eyes. His presence exudes both protectiveness and admiration for his growing family. It is evident that he too is captivated by this beautiful moment unfolding before him. The photograph encapsulates the essence of parenthood - pure love, wonderment, and unity. It serves as a timeless reminder that regardless of era or location, the arrival of a new baby has always been cherished as one of life's most extraordinary blessings. John Gay's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth within this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon it today, we cannot help but be moved by its authenticity and universal resonance.
