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.

The Farming Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a breathtakingly beautiful and intricately detailed painting by the renowned English illustrator Pauline Baynes, depicting the agricultural activities of a medieval farmer throughout the course of a year. This masterpiece, created in the style of a medieval stained glass window, captures the essence of the seasons and the rhythm of rural life in the Middle Ages. At the center of the composition, a man with three faces, symbolizing the cycles of birth, growth, and death, feasts on the bountiful harvest at a festive table. Surrounding him, the twelve months are represented by various agricultural activities. In January, a man sows seeds in the snow, while in February, a couple harvests holly for the midwinter festivities. In March, a farmer plows the land with oxen, and in April, he plants and tends to young seedlings. During the summer months, the farmer reaps the rewards of his labor, with scenes of haymaking, shearing sheep, and harvesting wheat with a sickle. In the autumn, the farmer gathers the harvest, threshes the grain, and stores it for the winter. The cycle begins anew in the winter months, with the farmer preparing for the next year by mending tools and building fences. Pauline Baynes' exquisite use of color and detail in "The Farming Year" transports us back in time to the medieval world, offering a glimpse into the daily life and seasonal rhythms of a farmer in the Middle Ages. This stunning work of art is a testament to the beauty and resilience of rural life and the connection between the people and the land.
