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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intimate moment of a traditional Madrid barber shaving a client in 1987. The image is a part of the intricately tiled fascia of a barber shop, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of this age-old practice. The barber, focused intently on his task, wields a cut-throat razor with precision and skill. The client, seated comfortably in the barber's chair, closes his eyes in relaxation, trusting the experienced hands of his barber. The tiled fascia of the shop adds an element of hygiene and cleanliness to the scene, reflecting the importance of personal grooming in Spanish culture. The use of a cut-throat razor, a tool that has been used for centuries, adds to the historical significance of the image. In the past, barber shops were not only places for haircuts but also served as social hubs where men would gather to discuss news and current events. The absence of modern conveniences such as electric razors and home visits further emphasizes the importance of this communal experience. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the traditions that continue to shape Madrid's cultural identity. The image is a beautiful reminder of the human connection that exists between the barber and his client, a bond that transcends time and trends.
