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.

An Irish Donkey and Cart Bringing Home the Spuds
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to rural Ireland during the early 1900s. The image showcases a young boy sitting confidently atop a donkey, skillfully maneuvering the reins while steering the cart loaded with sacks of freshly harvested potatoes. The desolate, winding road stretches out before them, leading to what appears to be a quaint Irish cottage nestled among the rolling hills in the distance. The scene is a poignant reminder of the hardworking spirit and resilience of the Irish people during this era. Potatoes had long been a staple food source for the Irish population, and the successful harvest was a cause for celebration. The boy's determined expression and the heavy load on the cart underscore the importance of the potatoes to the community's survival. The photograph's muted colors and grainy texture add to its authenticity, further immersing the viewer in the past. The donkey, a common mode of transportation during this time, seems to understand the boy's commands and carries the precious cargo with quiet dignity. The overall effect is a heartwarming and evocative snapshot of a bygone era in Irish history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural Ireland during the early 1900s, providing a unique and valuable insight into the country's rich cultural heritage. It is a testament to the strength and determination of the Irish people, who, despite the challenges they faced, managed to cultivate their land and provide for their families.
