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 photograph, a mobile chimney sweep stands proudly next to his car, showcasing his trade's rich history with a clever and eye-catching advertisement. The chimney-shaped roof of his vehicle, adorned with a broom sticking out of the top, is a testament to the time-honored tradition of chimney sweeping. The chimney sweep, dressed in the iconic uniform of tall, black boots, white shirt, and a brimmed hat, embodies the historical significance of his craft. His equipment, including brushes, rods, and a jute bag, lies scattered around him, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The chimney sweep industry has its roots in the 15th century when open hearths were the primary source of heat in homes. As coal became more widely used in the 17th and 18th centuries, the need for chimney sweeps grew, leading to the development of specialized tools and techniques. This mobile chimney sweep's innovative use of a car as a mobile billboard is a nod to the modernization of the trade. His vehicle, adorned with a chimney model and a broom, is a clever way to advertise his services to potential customers while on the go. The chimney on the roof not only serves as a visual representation of his trade but also ensures that he is easily identifiable in the community. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era while highlighting the adaptability and resilience of a trade that continues to evolve with the times. The chimney sweep's proud stance and the intricately detailed chimney model on his car make for a striking visual that is both historically significant and visually appealing.
