17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
This charming vintage photograph captures the image of Mrs. Sparks, the electrician's wife, from the Gibbs Happy Families series. The 20th century card game, produced by an unknown manufacturer, featured various happy families, each with distinct occupations and activities. In this particular scene, Mrs. Sparks is depicted in her domestic setting, engaged in housework with a smile on her face. She wears a pinafore apron over her blouse and skirts, and holds an iron in one hand, while the ironing board is set up behind her. A plug and electric appliance are visible on the table, suggesting the convenience and modernity of her household. Mrs. Sparks' contented expression and the warm lighting of the scene convey the sense of happiness and fulfillment that comes with balancing the roles of wife and homemaker. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the interplay of gender roles and the integration of technology into everyday life.
