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 charming cover design for a sewing book, published in 1947, showcases the simplicity and accessibility of home sewing during the postwar era. The image features a mother and daughter happily working together on a sewing project, exuding a sense of fun and collaboration. The woman, dressed in a red blouse and skirt, and the girl in a blue dress, both wear expressions of concentration and satisfaction. The book's title, "Simplicity Sewing," is prominently displayed, along with the tagline "Helpful Hints for Beginners and Experts." The cover design reflects the affordability of sewing during this time, with prices listed in shillings and sixpence. The use of a tape measure and sewing pattern adds to the practicality and hands-on nature of the activity. The clothesline and clothes hanging to dry in the background emphasize the importance of making and mending clothes at home. The 1940s and 40s were a time of resourcefulness and creativity, with many families turning to home sewing as a way to save money and provide for their families. This cover design captures the spirit of that era, highlighting the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something with your own two hands. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this sewing book promises to be a valuable addition to any home library.
