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 enchanting photograph captures the essence of the Caledonian Ball, an annual social event held at the prestigious Hotel Cecil in London during the Roaring Twenties. The image, taken in 1924, depicts a bustling ballroom filled with elegantly dressed men and women, all eager to partake in an evening of dancing and merriment. The opulence of the setting is evident in the ornate gold and red decor, the grand chandeliers casting a warm, inviting glow over the crowd. The Caledonian Ball was a public event, open to those seeking an evening of sophistication and entertainment. The tradition of holding the ball at the Hotel Cecil began in the early 1900s and continued well into the 1930s, making it a much-anticipated fixture on London's social calendar. Guests would gather in their finest attire, ready to waltz the night away to the melodic strains of a live orchestra. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when such events served as a means of bringing together people from all walks of life in a shared celebration of music, dance, and camaraderie. The Caledonian Ball at the Hotel Cecil was more than just a dance; it was a testament to the enduring power of community and the joy of shared experiences.
