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 photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd in 1905, showcases two fashionable women preparing for a motorcar journey during the Edwardian era. The women, dressed in elegant outfits, don practical and efficient motor veils as they step into the world of automobiles. The protective headwear, available from D. H Evans, features a hood or cap with a veil that shields their faces from the wind, dust, and other elements commonly encountered during travel. The use of motor veils was a significant innovation in the early days of motoring, as cars were not yet equipped with windshields or heating systems. These veils were essential for maintaining comfort and protecting the wearer's health during long journeys. The women's stylish yet functional attire reflects the growing popularity of motoring as a leisure activity and the increasing importance of practicality in fashion. The Edwardian period, marked by its opulence and elegance, saw a surge in the adoption of new technologies and trends. Motor veils were just one of the many inventions that transformed the way people travelled and experienced the world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the style, innovation, and spirit of the early 1900s.
