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
Step back in time and explore the fascinating world of hats through the ages, as depicted in this page from a vintage catalog discovered on Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating back to the 1930s, this image invites us to journey through the rich history of headwear, showcasing a diverse array of hats for both women and men, spanning various centuries and cultures. At the far left, we find ourselves transported to ancient Egypt, where a woman dons an ornate, tall headdress adorned with gold and precious stones. Moving forward in time, we encounter a selection of bonnets and caps popular during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. These hats, often made of silk, velvet, or wool, were designed to protect against the elements and signify social status. As we progress into the 19th century, we find an assortment of top hats and bowlers, which became symbols of sophistication and style for men. Women's hats, meanwhile, evolved to accommodate the growing popularity of elaborate hairstyles, with bonnets and parasols featuring prominently. Finally, we arrive in the 20th century, where the image showcases a range of modern hats, including cloches, berets, and fedoras. This selection offers a glimpse into the changing trends and tastes of the time, as well as the enduring allure of hats as essential accessories. Whether you're an avid historian, a fashion enthusiast, or simply intrigued by the past, this page from the 1930s catalog offers a captivating glimpse into the world of hats through the ages.
