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 photograph, titled 'Margery, in Trance and Her Wrists Held by Sitters: Exudes Ectoplasm,' offers a haunting glimpse into the world of spiritualism and mediumship during the early 20th century. The image, taken circa 1924, features the renowned medium Mina Crandon, also known as Margery, in the midst of a seance. Margery was renowned for her alleged ability to produce ectoplasm during her trances, a substance believed by some to be evidence of supernatural phenomena. In this photograph, her face is contorted in a trance-like state, her eyes closed, as her sitters hold her wrists in an attempt to facilitate the manifestation of ectoplasm. The substance, which appears as a milky white material, spreads across her face, covering her features in an ethereal veil. The sitters' expressions range from awe to skepticism, reflecting the divided opinions of the time regarding the authenticity of such phenomena. This photograph, held in historical archives, offers a unique window into the past, revealing the fascination and intrigue surrounding spiritualism and mediumship during the early 20th century. The image speaks to the human desire to connect with the unknown and the belief that there may be more to this world than what meets the eye. Mina Crandon's seances were a subject of intense scrutiny and controversy, with some believing her to be a genuine medium and others accusing her of fraud. Regardless of one's beliefs, this photograph remains a powerful reminder of the enduring allure of the paranormal and the human spirit's quest for understanding the mysteries of the universe.
