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
In this black-and-white photograph, the radiant winner of the 1931 Miss Russia competition, with the title "Miss Cig," gracefully poses at the center. Dressed in an elegant evening gown, she exudes an air of confidence and charm that captivates the viewer's attention. With a gentle smile playing on her lips, she invites us into her world, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The intricate beading and embroidery on her gown shimmer in the soft light, adding to her ethereal beauty. Her hair, styled in a sleek, wavy bob, frames her delicate features and accentuates her striking parting. The photograph's composition, with the subject placed off-center and the background slightly blurred, draws focus to the enchanting Miss Russia and her captivating presence. This image is a testament to the rich history of beauty contests in Russia and around the world. The Miss Russia competition, first held in 1927, was an annual event that showcased the beauty and grace of Russian women. The winner of this competition would often go on to represent Russia in the international Miss Universe contest. Despite the passage of time, this photograph continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring allure of beauty and the power of a smile. This image is not only a historical document but also a work of art that transcends time and culture, leaving a lasting impression on all who behold it.
