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 back in time with this image of a traditional straw yard on a farm in the picturesque county of Berkshire, England, circa 1846. The scene showcases the harmonious coexistence of cattle, pigs, and poultry, all sharing the same rustic, straw-covered ground. The thatched barn in the background, with its distinctive curved roof and wooden beams, serves as a protective shelter for the livestock and farm equipment. The manger, a trough designed for feeding animals, is filled with fresh hay, providing nourishment for the hardworking creatures. The pigs, with their curled tails and contented expressions, wallow in the soft, straw-covered mud, while the poultry peck around the yard, foraging for food. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when farming was a labor-intensive, community-driven endeavor. The simplicity of the scene, with its lack of modern machinery or commercial influences, highlights the connection between the farmers and their livestock, as they worked together to ensure a bountiful harvest. The use of straw as bedding and insulation was a common practice during this era, as it helped to maintain a comfortable environment for the animals and reduce the need for expensive heating sources. The thatched roof on the barn, made from bundles of straw, was also a popular choice due to its natural insulation properties and ability to blend seamlessly into the rural landscape. This evocative image not only captures the essence of rural life during the mid-19th century but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
