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 1987, taken by acclaimed British photographer Philip Dunn, we find an exhibitor deep in thought as he waits for the verdict of the poultry show judges in the picturesque county of Staffordshire. The man, dressed in a traditional cloth cap and a heavy coat, sits beside his caged chickens, his furrowed brow and tense posture betraying the importance of the moment. The feathers of his birds are perfectly groomed, their cages meticulously arranged, as if to showcase their finest attributes to the discerning eye of the judges. The atmosphere at the poultry show is one of anticipation and excitement, as farmers and hobbyists from across the region gather to showcase their prized hens and roosters. The air is filled with the distinctive clucking of chickens and the occasional crowing of a rooster, punctuated by the occasional cheer or groan as results are announced. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of rural life and the deep connection between man and livestock that has existed for generations. This photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection for the exhibitor, as he contemplates the potential success or disappointment that awaits him. The use of natural light and the grainy texture of the film add to the sense of authenticity and timelessness, transporting us back to the 1980s and the vibrant world of Staffordshire poultry shows. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the simple pleasures of rural life and the joy of raising and showing animals were cherished and celebrated.
