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
In this charming photograph from the early 1920s, two children eagerly engage in an animated lesson with their pet parrot. The parrot, perched on a wooden table, appears focused and attentive as the older child speaks softly into its ear, while the younger child holds out a piece of fruit as a reward. The children's expressions are filled with excitement and determination, as they work together to teach their feathered friend a new trick. The parrot, a vibrant green parakeet, gazes intently at the older child, its beady eyes fixed on every word. Its beak is slightly parted, as if it is trying to mimic the sounds it hears. The children's clothing and the simple wooden table add to the sense of nostalgia and timelessness, transporting us back to a simpler era. Parrots have long been popular pets due to their ability to mimic human speech, making them intriguing and entertaining companions. Teaching a parrot to talk was a beloved pastime for many children in the early 20th century, and this photograph captures the joy and wonder of that experience. The children's connection with their pet is palpable, and their shared sense of accomplishment is evident in their proud smiles. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the special bond between children and their pets, and the simple pleasures of learning and discovery that can be found in even the most ordinary moments. It is a delightful glimpse into the past, and a testament to the enduring appeal of parrots as beloved pets.
