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
A Treasured Memory: The Mayor of Oldham's Lamb Holiday Fund, 1932 This evocative photograph captures a special moment in Oldham's history, as the Mayor and Mayoress (Alderman and Mrs Hague) of the town, along with three lucky schoolchildren and their new friends, Michael, Mary, and Mona, the sheep, embark on a memorable trip to Fleetwood on Tuesday 5th July 1932. The Mayor of Oldham's Lamb Holiday Fund was a charitable initiative established to provide an opportunity for children in their final year of school who had never experienced the joy of a seaside holiday. The fund, which was a significant part of Oldham's social fabric during the 1930s, aimed to bring happiness and create cherished memories for those less fortunate. In this image, the children, dressed in their best clothes, are seen beaming with excitement as they prepare for their day out. The Mayor and Mayoress, dressed in formal attire, look on with warmth and pride, their faces reflecting the sense of community spirit and generosity that defined Oldham during this era. The presence of the sheep, Michael, Mary, and Mona, adds an unexpected yet delightful touch to the scene, emphasizing the playful and joyful nature of the event. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when community came together to create moments of joy and happiness for those in need. It encapsulates the spirit of the 1930s, a decade marked by hardship and resilience, and serves as a testament to the power of charitable initiatives in bringing people together and creating lasting memories.
