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 evocative photograph captures a group of badger hunters gathered outside The Plough Inn, in the picturesque village of Pyecombe, Sussex, in 1911. The men, dressed in hunting attire, are seen huddled around a sign bearing the insignia of the local hunting club, "Tamplin's Huth," with their terriers at their feet. The pub's name, "The Plough," is prominently displayed on the wall behind them. Badger hunting was a popular pastime in rural Sussex during this era, and the community at Pyecombe was no exception. The hunters would meet at the inn before setting out on their nighttime digs, using diggers to unearth the badgers from their setts. The sport was considered a test of skill and endurance, as well as a means of controlling the badger population, which was believed to damage crops and livestock. Despite the controversy surrounding badger hunting today, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, when rural communities relied on traditional methods to manage their local wildlife and maintain their way of life. The men in the photograph appear focused and determined, their faces etched with the marks of hard work and dedication to their sport. The warm glow of the inn's lights spills out onto the street, creating a sense of camaraderie and belonging among the hunters. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of rural Sussex, and the deep connection between the people and the land they call home.
