Dressmaker Dressmaking Flapper Household Sewing Sews
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 image, taken in 1927, showcases a stylish and fashionable woman of the 1920s in the midst of creating a new dress on her sewing machine. The lady, with her bobbed hair and trendy attire, embodies the essence of the Roaring Twenties, an era characterized by newfound freedom and modernity for women. As she intently focuses on her work, her expression reveals a sense of determination and creativity. The work table before her is cluttered with various sewing supplies, including fabric scraps, threads, and patterns, all indicative of the dressmaking process. The sewing machine, a symbol of domestic industry and innovation during this period, sits proudly at the center of the scene. The 1920s was a time of significant change in fashion, with women embracing new styles and silhouettes, such as the flapper dress, which is believed to have originated from this era. This image captures the spirit of the times, as the woman not only represents the fashionable and independent woman of the 1920s but also the importance of sewing and dressmaking in the household. The intricate details of the image, from the woman's expressive face to the textures of the fabrics and the vintage sewing machine, transport us back to a bygone era. This photograph is an invaluable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the daily life and fashion trends of the 1920s.
