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 enigmatic and beloved figure of Emma Gifford Hardy (1841-1912), the first wife of renowned English novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy. Taken in the summer of 1908, Emma is depicted in her later years, with a gentle and melancholic expression that seems to hint at the depth of emotion and passion that inspired some of Hardy's most moving love poems. Emma, who was known as 'Mrs. Hardy' to her husband's admirers, was a significant influence on Hardy's literary career. They married in 1874 and remained together until her death in 1912, an event that deeply affected Hardy and led him to write some of his most poignant works. The month of August, in the year of 1912, brought an unexpected and tragic turn to the lives of Thomas and Emma Hardy. Emma, who had been suffering from a long illness, passed away on the 11th of that month, leaving Thomas devastated and heartbroken. In the following months, Hardy poured out his grief and love for his wife into his writing, producing some of his most memorable and moving poems. This photograph, taken just four years before Emma's death, is an important historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the personal life of one of literature's most celebrated figures. It serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that love and loss can have on the human spirit, and the enduring power of art to capture and express the complexities of emotion.
