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.

A Flapper Girl: Embracing the Newfound Emancipation of Femininity in the Roaring Twenties This image of a flapper girl, published in The Sphere in 1927, encapsulates the revolutionary spirit of the 1920s and the drastic changes that women's fashion underwent during this era. The photograph, taken in the heart of Paris, showcases a highly modern outfit that defied traditional norms and celebrated the newfound freedom and emancipation of women. The flapper girl's sleek, short bobbed hair, a symbol of rebellion and independence, frames her face, drawing attention to her expressive eyes and bold, painted lips. Her bobbed haircut, which had only recently gained acceptance in society, was a stark contrast to the long, flowing locks that had been the epitome of femininity for decades. Her legs, clad in a short, pleated skirt, are crossed confidently, exuding an air of self-assurance and modernity. The skirt, which reached just above the knee, was a radical departure from the floor-length garments that had previously been the standard for women's attire. The flapper girl's outfit also featured a loose-fitting, sleeveless top, which allowed for greater freedom of movement and expression. The 1920s, often referred to as the 'Roaring Twenties,' was a time of great social and cultural upheaval. Women's fashion reflected this period of change, with the flapper look becoming a powerful symbol of feminine emancipation and the rejection of societal constraints. The flapper girl in this photograph embodies the spirit of this era, her bold, modern outfit a testament to the transformative power of femininity in the 1920s.
