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.

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
1. Title: "Weaving the Ties of Tradition: A 19th Century Hungarian Loom at the Ethnographic Museum, Budapest" In this evocative image from the 19th century, a Hungarian woman diligently works at a traditional loom, crafting intricate kilim rugs for the dowries of her fellow Hungarian brides. The scene unfolds within the hallowed halls of Budapest's Ethnographic Museum, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this European nation. The woman's focused expression and the room's dimly lit interior evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and the deep-rooted significance of her labor. The loom, a wooden structure with a large, vertical warp beam and a horizontal weft beam, is a testament to the skill and technique required to create these intricate textiles. The woman's deft fingers manipulate the woolen threads, weaving them together to form the colorful patterns that would adorn the rugs. The importance of these rugs in Hungarian society cannot be overstated. They were not merely functional objects, but rather symbols of wealth, status, and the continuity of tradition. The rugs were passed down from generation to generation, each one adding its own unique story to the tapestry of Hungarian history. The scissors lying nearby hint at the meticulous process of cutting the excess threads, a laborious task that followed the weaving process. The room's worn wooden floor and simple furnishings further underscore the humble yet profound nature of this domestic craft. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment in history that continues to resonate with us today. The loom serves as a reminder of the social and cultural fabric that binds us together, and the enduring power of tradition in shaping our identities.
