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
The Farrier (from 'Book of Trades'), 1841 This evocative image captures the skill and dedication of a farrier at work in the early Victorian era. The farrier, a tradesman who specializes in the care and maintenance of horses' hooves, is shown in the midst of his craft, surrounded by the tools of his trade. With a horseshoe in hand and an anvil and hammer at the ready, he expertly shapes and fits the iron shoe to the horse's hoof, ensuring its protection and mobility. The scene is set in a well-lit stable, with horses looking on curiously from the background. The farrier's strong, calloused hands and focused expression convey the physical demands and concentration required for this essential trade. The intricate ironwork and the glowing embers of the forge add to the sense of warmth and industry, while the horses' gentle gaze adds a touch of calm to the bustling scene. This photograph is taken from 'Book of Trades,' a series of images documenting various trades and skills prevalent during the 1840s. The series provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives and work of ordinary people during this period, offering a valuable historical record of the trades that shaped the industrial age. The Farrier image stands out as a testament to the importance of the farrier's role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of horses, an essential component of transportation and agriculture during the Victorian era.
