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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the essence of a young girl named Miss Plane, the carpenter's daughter, engaged in a playful game of 'The Round Game of Happy Families' with her friends in the early 1910s. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, sit in a circle on the floor, their hands holding colorful card decks. The game, a popular parlor pastime during this era, involved collecting sets of cards representing different families, with each family consisting of a father, mother, and two children. Miss Plane, with her rosy cheeks and serious expression, is the proud owner of a Chad Valley 'Round Game of Happy Families' set. Chad Valley was a renowned British manufacturer of educational and recreational toys during this period. The girls' cards are spread out before them, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they make their trades. In the background, a wooden hammer and nails lie on the table, a subtle reminder of Miss Plane's carpenter father's trade. The wooden jointed dolls, perhaps a prize from the game, add a touch of whimsy to the scene. The girls' attire, ranging from pink dresses to black velvet outfits, showcases the diversity and inclusivity of the game. This photograph offers a glimpse into the simple joys and camaraderie of childhood during the 1910s, as well as the importance of family, play, and community in shaping the lives of young girls.
