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 enchanting photograph captures the essence of childhood innocence during the Edwardian era, as young girls from around England gather to participate in the "Pretties" child competition of 1909. Dressed in their finest white dresses and adorned with ribbons and flowers in their hair, these girls, ranging in age from toddler to pre-teen, proudly pose for the camera in anticipation of winning the coveted prize of 250 pounds. The Edwardian era, known for its opulence and elegance, is beautifully represented in this image through the intricate details of the girls' costumes. Their dresses, with their high collars, long sleeves, and full skirts, are the epitome of the fashionable clothing of the time. The girls' hair is neatly styled and held in place with ribbons, adding to their charming appearance. The competition, which likely drew hundreds of entrants, provided an opportunity for these young girls to showcase their beauty and grace, and offered a moment of excitement and joy in their otherwise ordinary lives. This photograph, taken over a century ago, remains a captivating reminder of the simple pleasures and innocence of childhood during the Edwardian era.
