31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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
Step into the fascinating world of early 20th century beauty treatments with this image of a woman undergoing a Ray-Lamp treatment at the Hairdressers Annual Exhibition in 1928. The Ray-Lamp, an intriguing contraption of the era, was one of many strange and innovative devices used to enhance personal appearance. The woman, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, wears a pair of Ray-Lamps over her eyes, resembling oversized metal blinkers. These lamps, powered by electricity, were believed to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth, as well as improve complexion and reduce wrinkles. The treatment was also marketed as a means to improve eyesight and alleviate headaches. The Ray-Lamp treatment gained popularity during the 1920s, a decade known for its obsession with new technologies and modern conveniences.
