Aided Busy Date Fraulein House Hold Knitting
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 evocative photograph captures a moment in time from a century ago, as a class of young German schoolgirls diligently focus on their knitting projects. The date is 1915, and the girls, dressed in their simple, yet neat uniforms, are likely hard at work creating socks for the soldiers fighting at the front lines. The fraulein, or female teacher, stands at the front of the room, her watchful gaze on the students as they deftly move their needles, their expressions a mix of concentration and determination. The scene is a poignant reminder of the role that household activities played during times of war. Knitting, a common household craft, became a symbol of patriotic support and a way for families and communities to contribute to the war effort. The socks produced by these girls would have provided much-needed warmth and comfort to the soldiers on the front lines, helping to keep them healthy and focused in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of a German school in the early 20th century. The girls' focused expressions and the orderly arrangement of their desks and supplies suggest a disciplined and structured learning environment. The presence of the fraulein, who is aiding and guiding the students, underscores the importance of education and the role of teachers in shaping the next generation. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of people during times of war, and the enduring importance of community and the role of education in shaping the future.
