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 evocative photograph, Elizabeth Charlotte Lucy Asquith, later known as Princess Bibesco, is captured in the midst of her work at the offices of the Three Arts Women's Employment Fund during World War I. Daughter of the British Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, and his second wife, Margot, Elizabeth is seen intently focused on her typewriter, a recent accomplishment that allowed her to contribute effectively to the war effort. The Three Arts Women's Employment Fund was a voluntary organization established to help women find employment opportunities during the war, particularly in the clerical and industrial sectors. Elizabeth, an English writer, joined the toy industry department, using her creativity and organizational skills to make a meaningful impact. The image of Elizabeth at her desk, surrounded by papers and typewriter, is a testament to the resilience and determination of women during this period. As the First World War raged on the home front and the front lines, women like Elizabeth stepped up to fill the roles vacated by men who had gone off to fight. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, showcasing the important role women played in society during the war. Elizabeth's poised expression and focused demeanor reflect the dedication and commitment of countless women who worked tirelessly to support the war effort and maintain the social fabric of their communities. This portrait of Elizabeth Asquith, taken in 1917, is a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of women during a time of great upheaval and change. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of charities and voluntary organizations in providing essential services and opportunities during times of crisis.
