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
"This evocative image captures the intense moment of a hysterical patient being restrained by six attendants in an asylum during the late 1800s. The woman, dressed in a simple nightgown, is in a state of frenzied hysteria, her arms and legs thrashing about in a desperate attempt to break free. Her wild, uncontrollable behavior was termed 'Grande mouvements' or 'Great Movements' in the medical community of the time. Hysteria, a diagnosis commonly given to women exhibiting uncontrollable emotional or physical symptoms, was a widely recognized condition during the 19th century. It was believed to be caused by a disturbance in the uterus, which could be treated through various methods, including hypnosis, massage, and restraint. The image is a poignant reminder of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding mental illness during this era. The woman's expression of raw emotion and the intense grip of the attendants highlight the fear and confusion that surrounded the diagnosis and treatment of hysteria. The photograph, taken in 1881, provides a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the historical context of mental health care. It serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in understanding and treating mental health conditions, as well as the importance of compassion and empathy in caring for those in need." This photo print, titled "Hysterical Patient," is a powerful historical artifact that offers insight into the complex and often misunderstood world of mental health care in the late 1800s. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding in caring for those experiencing mental health challenges.
