23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

They say cleanliness is next to Godliness,
EDITORS COMMENTS
the saying goes, but for this young scamp of a child, achieving spotless knees seemed an impossible feat. Captured in a charming photograph from the 1930s, the image shows a toddler named Lucie, clad in a frilly blue dress, sitting in a tub filled with water. With a determined expression on her face, she wields a scrubbing brush, attempting to erase the grime that clings stubbornly to her knees. Despite her best efforts, the dirt refuses to budge, leaving her with a smear of muddy residue. The scene is filled with a sense of fun and humor, as the child's playful attitude shines through, even in her moment of frustration. The photograph, taken in 1933, offers a delightful glimpse into the everyday life of a young girl during the thirties. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth, reminding us of the simple joys of childhood and the endless challenges that come with growing up. The young girl's determination to clean her knees, despite the seemingly insurmountable task, is a testament to her spirit and the resilience of youth. This charming photograph, with its playful subject and timeless message, is a delight to behold and a reminder that sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination.
