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 captures a moment from the enchanting rehearsal for the Living Poster Ball, an extraordinary fundraising event held at the Park Lane Hotel in London in 1930. The image features three elegant women, Lady Diana Cooper (center), Mrs. Baillie-Hamilton (left), and Lady Cunard (right), as they prepare for the grand spectacle. The Living Poster Ball was a unique and innovative charity event organized to raise funds for the Children's Country Holiday Fund and the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital. The women, all members of London's high society and aristocracy, served as living posters for the event, posing as the advertisements that would be displayed around the city to promote the ball. Dressed in elaborate and fantastical costumes, the women are seen rehearsing their poses and expressions, ensuring that every detail is perfect for the upcoming gala. Lady Diana Cooper, with her captivating smile and regal bearing, radiates grace and charm. Mrs. Baillie-Hamilton, with her striking red dress and dramatic pose, exudes a sense of mystery and allure. Lady Cunard, in her elegant white gown and serene expression, embodies the epitome of sophistication and poise. The Living Poster Ball was a testament to the power of creativity and community, as London's upper class came together to support important causes and put on a truly unforgettable show. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when fancy dress and charity went hand in hand, and the power of a good cause could bring together the most influential and fashionable members of society.
