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.

A Delicate Balance - A Black Cat and a Speckled Thrush,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Muriel Dawson, 1920s Muriel Dawson's captivating photograph, "A Delicate Balance: A Black Cat and a Speckled Thrush," is a stunning example of the artist's ability to capture the intricate relationship between two seemingly disparate creatures. Taken in the 1920s, this image transports us back in time, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the natural world. The photograph features a sleek, black cat perched precariously on a weathered pole, its piercing green eyes fixed intently on the ground below. The cat's elegant form is a study in grace and poise, its muscles taut and ready to pounce. The pole, worn and weathered by the elements, adds a sense of age and history to the scene. But the real surprise comes in the form of a speckled thrush, perched on a nearby branch. The bird's vibrant plumage stands in stark contrast to the cat's monochromatic form, adding a burst of color and life to the image. The thrush's beady eyes are fixed on the cat, as if sizing up this intruder in its territory. The title of the photograph, "A Delicate Balance," speaks to the delicate equilibrium that exists between these two creatures, each sizing up the other in a dance of predator and prey. The image invites us to consider the complexities of the natural world, and the intricate relationships that exist between different species. Muriel Dawson's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with her keen eye for detail, make this photograph a true work of art. The image has a timeless quality, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the natural world and the delicate balance that exists within it.
