31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
1. Title: "A Gypsy Boy with Hen: A Moment of Connection at a Surrey Encampment, 1973" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a tender moment between a young Gypsy boy and a hen, as they share a quiet connection at the door of their family caravan in a Surrey encampment in 1973. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Romany people, a community often misunderstood and marginalized in society. The door of the caravan, adorned with intricate decorative patterns, serves as a symbol of the unique identity and heritage of the Gypsy community. The family's home on wheels, a common feature of their nomadic lifestyle, adds to the sense of wanderlust and adventure that has long been associated with the Gypsies. The boy, dressed in simple yet colorful clothing, clutches the hen protectively, his expression revealing a deep affection for the animal that is a vital part of his daily life. The hen, with its proud posture and alert gaze, seems to return the boy's affection, adding to the sense of harmony and interdependence between humans and animals in this close-knit community. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Gypsy way of life, which has been shaped by centuries of tradition, resilience, and adaptability. It invites us to look beyond stereotypes and preconceptions, and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this fascinating culture. The image, taken in 1973, provides a valuable historical record of a community that continues to face challenges and discrimination, yet remains deeply rooted in its traditions and values. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Romany people and their deep connection to the land, their families, and their animals.
