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 enchanting photograph, titled 'The Postman' and captured by Charles Robinson in 1906, depicts the magical arrival of Christmas deliveries in the Edwardian era. The postman, heavily laden with a sack on his back and clutching a parcel, approaches a quaint red-brick house adorned with snow-covered holly and ivy. Two young girls, bundled up against the winter chill, eagerly await his arrival at the gate. The postman's flat-topped hat and uniform add to the traditional charm of the scene. The girls' expressions of excitement and anticipation are a testament to the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings, even during the simplest of moments. This heartwarming image not only captures the essence of Christmas but also the spirit of community and connection that comes with the tradition of letter and parcel delivery. The girls' curiosity and delight as they watch the postman deliver packages to their neighbors further emphasizes the importance of this daily ritual during the holiday season. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and nostalgic appeal, is a reminder of the simple joys of Christmas past.
