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 evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in South Devon, England during the 1930s. The image depicts a young country lass, dressed in traditional attire, gracefully balancing a bucket on her hip as she leans over the ancient Devon Well in Milton Coombe. The well, a cherished community water supply for generations, is nestled within a lush, green landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills in the background. The scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a bygone era. The maiden's determined expression and the simple, yet elegant beauty of her traditional dress, complete with a headscarf and apron, evoke a sense of resilience and self-sufficiency. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the close-knit rural communities that once thrived in South Devon, where the simple act of fetching water from the well was an essential part of daily life. The historical significance of the Devon Well in Milton Coombe is further emphasized by the fact that it has been in continuous use since the Middle Ages. The well has played a vital role in the lives of the local residents, providing them with a reliable source of fresh water during a time when modern conveniences were scarce. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also tells a story of the rich history and traditions of the region. The Devon Well in Milton Coombe stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the community and the simple pleasures of rural life. This image is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, rural England, or the beauty of the natural world.
