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
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a young weaver in a Lancashire cotton mill during the late 1890s. The image presents a poignant snapshot of the industrial revolution's impact on the working class, particularly on women and children. The mill's dimly lit interior is filled with the hum of machinery and the clatter of looms, as the weaver intently focuses on her task, her expression a blend of concentration and fatigue. The intricate patterns of the cotton fabric she weaves are a testament to her skill and dexterity, yet the repetitive motion of her hands and the monotonous rhythm of the machinery suggest the laborious nature of her work. The mill's vast, cavernous space is a maze of industrial machinery, with towering looms, spinning jennies, and other textile machinery filling every corner. The air is thick with lint and dust, and the atmosphere is heavy with the smell of oil and cotton. The weaver is dressed in simple, practical clothing, her long sleeves rolled up to her elbows to keep the fabric from snagging on her arms. Her face is smeared with grime, a testament to the physical demands of her job. Despite the harsh conditions, the weaver's determination and resilience are evident in her posture and her unwavering focus. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the working class during the industrial revolution, and the transformative impact of mechanisation on the textile industry. It also highlights the crucial role that women played in the mills, often working long hours in cramped and dangerous conditions for meager wages. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history and the human stories that shaped it.
