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
In this image from the 1950s, a woman stands by the window, her expression thoughtful as she gazes out at the world beyond. The room is bathed in the soft, natural light filtering through the jolly Merricolour curtains, their vibrant colors and playful patterns adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the otherwise ordinary interior. The curtains, billowing gently in the breeze, seem to beckon the outside in, blurring the line between the home's cozy interior and the bustling world outside. The Merricolour fabrics, produced by the Grafton Textile Company, were a popular choice for home decorators in the 1950s. Known for their cheerful colors and lively designs, these curtains embodied the optimistic spirit of the post-war era. The company's advertisements, like this one, often featured happy, carefree women enjoying the benefits of Merricolour fabrics in their homes. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when a simple pleasure like hanging new curtains could bring so much joy and excitement. The image is a testament to the power of textiles to transform a space and lift our spirits, making it a fitting representation of the enduring appeal of Merricolour fabrics and the 1950s aesthetic. This image is part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, available for licensing at Mary Evans Picture Library.
