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
In this evocative 8th century image from the annals of Anglo-Saxon history, a group of women are depicted in their traditional attire, showcasing the intricate layers and textures of their garments. The women wear tunics as the base layer, which are in turn covered by super-tunics or rocs and mantles. The rocs, long-sleeved garments, are worn over the tunics and reach down to the ankles, while the mantles, draped over the shoulders, serve as protective capes against the elements. The women's heads are adorned with head-rails or veils, which are carefully draped over their hair, necks, and shoulders. These coverchiefs, made of fine linen or wool, were an essential part of Anglo-Saxon women's daily attire, providing both functional and decorative purposes. The interior of the image reveals the intricate folds and textures of the fabrics, as well as the delicate embroidery and decorative details that adorn the garments. The Anglo-Saxon society placed great importance on clothing as a reflection of social status and wealth. The intricate layers and textures of the women's garments in this image suggest a high degree of craftsmanship and luxury, indicating that these women belonged to the upper echelons of Anglo-Saxon society. The use of drapery and interior folds adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image, transporting us back to the 8th century and offering a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of Anglo-Saxon fashion.
