Kiss Kissing Parasol Peck Missy
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this photograph from the early 1910s, a western man affectionately kisses the cheek of a Japanese woman, affectionately referred to as "Kissy-kiss-kissy a Japanese missy." The tender moment between the couple is captured in profile, with the woman delicately holding a parasol to shield herself from the sun. The man, dressed in western attire, wears a serious expression, while the woman's demure smile hints at the playful nature of their interaction. The woman's traditional Japanese costume, featuring a flowing kimono and intricate obi sash, contrasts starkly with the man's western attire. This juxtaposition of eastern and western influences reflects the complex cultural exchange that was taking place during this period of globalization. The use of a parasol, a common accessory in Japanese culture, further emphasizes the woman's oriental identity. Despite the clear cultural differences between the couple, their connection is evident in the warmth and intimacy of their embrace. The peck on the cheek is a simple gesture, yet it speaks volumes about the universal language of love and affection. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when boundaries between cultures were being blurred and new relationships were being forged. The image is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of cross-cultural interactions and the enduring power of human connection.
