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 elegance with John Pound & Co's Ladies Real Pigskin Dressing Case from 1912. This exquisite compact dressing case, featuring solid silver fittings, was a must-have accessory for women of the 1910s. John Pound & Co, a renowned name in London's retail scene, had been synonymous with quality and sophistication since its inception. John Pound, the company's founder, had become Lord Mayor of London in 1904, but with the prestigious title came less time to run his business. He entrusted the reins to his two capable sons, John Lulham and Percy Albert. Under their leadership, John Pound & Co continued to thrive, offering an array of exquisite beauty essentials. This dressing case, a testament to their commitment to excellence, was crafted from genuine pigskin leather and adorned with solid silver fittings. The case housed various compartments, perfect for storing brushes, jars, and other essentials. The mirror, a thoughtful addition, allowed women to apply their makeup or check their reflection on the go. The John Pound & Co dressing case was a symbol of luxury and practicality, reflecting the changing needs of women during the early 20th century. This advertisement, showcasing the dressing case on Leadenhall Street in London, invites you to step back in time and experience the charm of a bygone era. John Pound & Co's legacy continued well into the mid-1900s, but eventually, the company was taken over by John Lewis. Despite the change in ownership, the legacy of this iconic brand lives on, reminding us of the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era.
