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 evocative photograph from 1933, the Duchess of York, later known as the Queen Mother (Elizabeth, 1900-2002), is seen with her two daughters, the future Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) and Princess Margaret (1930-2002), at the annual sale of work by the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Society. The event took place in the picturesque grounds of Violet, Lady Melchett's House in Lowndes Square, London. The Duchess of York, who served as the patron of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Society, is dressed elegantly in a long, flowing coat and hat, while her daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, wear matching outfits and look on with interest at the various embroidered items displayed for sale. The society, founded in 1915, provided employment and rehabilitation opportunities for disabled soldiers through the art of embroidery. The 1930s were a time of great change and uncertainty in the world, with the aftermath of World War I and the looming threat of another global conflict. This photograph captures a moment of respite and hope, as the royal family supports the important work of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Society and engages with the community. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the British people and their commitment to helping those in need. The intricate embroidery work on display adds a touch of beauty and artistry to the scene, highlighting the skill and dedication of the disabled soldiers who created them. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of community, creativity, and the human spirit to bring people together and provide solace in difficult times.
