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
In this evocative photograph, a young Saxon girl from the Szelindek village in Szeben County, Romania, is captured in traditional attire from the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1892, is now preserved in the Ethnographic Museum in Budapest, Hungary. The Saxon community, also known as the Transylvanian Saxons, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally settlers from Germany, they have maintained their unique cultural identity despite the region's political changes throughout history. This girl's traditional dress is a testament to their enduring heritage. The girl's outfit consists of a long-sleeved blouse with intricate embroidery, a fitted waistcoat, a full skirt, and a headscarf. The textiles used in her clothing display intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the craftsmanship and creativity of the Saxon people. The interior of the room, with its wooden furniture and simple decorations, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily life and traditions of the Saxon community during the 19th century. The Ethnographic Museum in Budapest, with its extensive collection of historical artifacts, is an essential resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the diverse cultural heritage of Europe. This image is not only a beautiful representation of the Saxon girl's traditional dress but also a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural history that continues to shape our world today.
