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 simple yet engaging pastime enjoyed by a group of women during the early 1910s. Titled "Mrs. Pumps (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Mrs. Pumps the Milkman's Wife," the image portrays a lively scene of women gathered around a table, intently focused on their cards as they play a game of 'The Round Game of Happy Families.' The setting is a cozy, sunlit room, filled with the warmth of camaraderie and the comforting aroma of fresh milk. In the foreground, we see a woman, dressed in a traditional working-class attire, sitting at the table and skillfully maneuvering her cards. Her expression is serious, yet her posture is relaxed, suggesting a sense of enjoyment and competition. Behind her, other women lean in, their faces animated with excitement and concentration. Some hold their cards close to their chests, while others exchange glances and gestures, strategizing their next moves. The table is adorned with an array of items related to their daily lives – a wooden milk pail and bucket, a churn, and various cards spread out before them. The presence of these items underscores the connection between their work and leisure activities, highlighting the importance of community and shared experiences. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class women during the 1910s, a time when the roles of women were beginning to shift, and the simple pleasures of life, such as playing cards with friends, provided a welcome respite from the daily grind.
