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
This photograph, dated 1938, depicts a young boy diligently brushing his teeth in the comfort of his own home. The scene is a poignant reminder of the simple joys and responsibilities of adolescence. With a determined expression on his face, the youngster leans over the sink, his toothbrush lathered with toothpaste. The reflection in the mirror behind him shows the earnestness in his gaze as he completes this essential daily chore. The classic image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when children were expected to learn the importance of good dental hygiene at an early age. The boy's attire - a collared shirt and trousers - adds to the vintage feel, as does the old-fashioned bathroom setting with its porcelain sink and chrome faucet. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the evolution of dental care and the advancements in medical sciences. At the time, brushing teeth was a crucial part of maintaining oral health, and this simple act was often the first step in instilling good habits that would last a lifetime. The image is a charming snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of childhood and the importance of taking care of oneself. It is a testament to the enduring nature of the human spirit and the resilience of young people as they navigate the challenges of growing up.
