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
Step into the future of home sanitation with the Improved Earth Closets and Commodes, advertised by O'Brien, Thomas, & Co in February 1898. This innovative household equipment was a significant improvement from the traditional earthenware pans and buckets that were commonly used in Victorian homes. The advertisement showcases a sleek and modern design, featuring a porcelain toilet bowl connected to an earth closet system. The earth closet, also known as a dry toilet, was a more hygienic alternative to the bucket system, as it allowed for the waste to be buried in the ground instead of being stored in a bucket. The commode, a chair-like seat with a detachable bowl, added a touch of elegance and convenience to the bathroom. The Improved Earth Closets and Commodes were made of galvanised iron, making them durable and long-lasting. The advertisement highlights the company's commitment to providing high-quality sanitary ware, ensuring that their customers could enjoy the latest advancements in household equipment. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the late Victorian era, a time when advancements in technology and design were transforming the way people lived. The Improved Earth Closets and Commodes represented a significant step forward in home sanitation, offering a more hygienic and convenient solution for households. The advertisement also showcases the growing importance of advertising in the late 1800s, as companies sought to promote their products to a wider audience. O'Brien, Thomas, & Co's advertisement in Upper Thames Street, London, would have reached a large number of potential customers, helping to establish the company as a leading provider of household equipment.
