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
Greetings from the Massage Parlour! Step back in time with this image from the 1910s, showcasing the therapeutic world of early 20th century Germany. A young woman, dressed in a charming spotty swimsuit, is receiving a vigorous massage from a solid and formidable masseuse. The masseuse, clad in a traditional apron and wearing a stern expression, focuses intently on kneading away at the client's upper thigh, likely targeting persistent knots, aches, and pains. Massage was a popular form of alternative therapy during this era, providing relief from various health issues and promoting overall well-being. The massage parlour, a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation, offered a range of treatments, including hydrotherapy, electrical therapy, and of course, traditional Swedish and deep tissue massages. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the intimacy and personal connection between the masseuse and her client. The use of a pillow for added comfort and support is also evident, highlighting the attention to detail and expertise of the therapist. The historical setting of this image invites us to reflect on the evolution of health and wellness practices throughout the centuries. Despite the passing of time, the therapeutic benefits of massage continue to be cherished and appreciated by people all around the world.
