23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photograph captures the essence of fashionable women in Shanghai during the Republican era of China, circa 1910s. The image, taken in a studio setting, showcases the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that characterized the city's vibrant social scene at the time. The two women in the photograph are elegantly dressed in the latest fashion trends, their outfits a testament to Shanghai's status as a cosmopolitan hub and a melting pot of diverse cultures. The woman on the left wears a Western-style dress with a high collar and long sleeves, accessorized with a string of pearls and a delicate brooch. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with ornate combs and a feather headpiece. The woman on the right, however, embodies the Eastern aesthetic, dressed in a traditional Chinese silk gown with a flowing design and intricate embroidery. Her hair is styled in a simple yet elegant chignon, and she accessorizes her outfit with delicate jade jewelry and a pair of elegant shoes. The interior of the studio, with its ornate decor and elegant furnishings, further enhances the sense of opulence and sophistication. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and fashion trends of Shanghai during this period, a time when the city was at the forefront of China's modernization and globalization. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, offering valuable insights into the fashion, culture, and social history of Shanghai during the early 20th century.
