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
Step back in time with this engraving by Percy Macquoid, showcasing a typical grocer's shop interior from the late 19th century, as it was originally published in The Graphic magazine in 1890. The intricately detailed image transports us to an era where shopping was a more personal and tactile experience. The shelves are lined with an array of glass jars, earthenware pots, and tin cans, filled with an assortment of preserved fruits, pickles, and spices. The rich, earthy tones of the various goods contrast beautifully with the pristine white shelves and the gleaming brass fittings. At the heart of the shop, the grocer's scales are prominently displayed on the counter, ready to measure out precise quantities of goods for customers. The scales, a symbol of accuracy and fairness, were an essential tool for ensuring that every transaction was conducted honestly. This historical engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of the time. Macquoid's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting us to explore the hidden stories and secrets that lie within the grocer's shop. As we admire the intricate details of this engraving, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our rich historical heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from. This image is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us through time and transport us to a bygone era.
