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 photograph captures the joy and togetherness of a happy family during a leisurely moment at home in the 1930s. The image features Master Carr, the motorist's son, surrounded by his younger brothers as they enthusiastically engage in a game of Happy Families Playing Cards. The boys, dressed in casual attire typical of the era, sit on the floor, each holding their own set of cards. The room is filled with warmth and laughter, with the soft glow of natural light filtering in through the window. The Happy Families Playing Cards game was a popular pastime during this period, providing entertainment for families and friends during gatherings. The game, which involves collecting sets of illustrated cards representing different families, was a simple yet effective way to bring people together and create lasting memories. Master Carr, the eldest son, takes on the role of the responsible and attentive elder brother, while his younger brothers eagerly follow his lead. Their expressions of excitement and concentration are a testament to the enjoyment they derive from the game. The toys and model cars scattered around the room add to the sense of playfulness and nostalgia. This photograph, taken by Terry Parker for the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when families found joy in the simple pleasures of life. It serves as a reminder of the importance of family, togetherness, and the power of a good game to bring people closer.
