FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Two Peasant Girls" is an evocative and poignant image capturing the essence of rural Ireland during the 1840s. The photograph, taken in 1843 by an unknown artist and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a pair of young girls clad in simple, worn clothing, their expressions reflecting the harsh realities of their daily lives. The girls, with their unkempt hair and bare feet, are seated on a grassy mound, their hands resting in their laps. Their clothing, consisting of faded, threadbare dresses and shirts, speaks volumes about their poverty-stricken existence. The older girl gazes directly at the viewer with a look of quiet resignation, while the younger one appears lost in thought, her eyes downcast. The backdrop of the image is a rolling Irish countryside, dotted with rocks and boulders, and the girls seem almost insignificant against the vast expanse of nature. The scene is one of simplicity and hardship, a snapshot of life in rural Ireland during a time of great poverty and struggle. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the lives of the Irish peasantry during the 1840s, a time marked by famine, disease, and economic hardship. The image invites us to reflect on the resilience and determination of these young girls, who despite their difficult circumstances, continue to face each day with courage and grace. The photograph is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the enduring strength of the Irish people, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of Ireland, both past and present.
