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
1. Title: "The Silk Worm: A Timeless Symbiosis" This illustration, dated October 24, 1914, depicts a stunning young woman in an ethereal setting, surrounded by plush cushions and adorned in a gown that defies the laws of nature. The source of her extraordinary attire is a diminutive man, elegantly dressed and clutching a large moneybag. But what makes this scene truly remarkable is the intricate network of silk strings that extend from the man's bag and weave their way into the fabric of the woman's dress. This enchanting image is a visual representation of the symbiotic relationship between the silk producer and the silk worm. In this arrangement, the man, as the cultivator, tends to the silkworms, providing them with a nurturing environment and protection from predators. In return, the silkworms produce the precious silk threads that the man collects and transforms into the luxurious fabric that adorns the woman in the illustration. The symbiotic relationship between humans and silk worms dates back thousands of years, with evidence of silk production dating back to China around 3000 BC. The process of silk production, known as sericulture, has remained largely unchanged for centuries, making it a testament to the enduring connection between humans and the natural world. This illustration, published in a cartoon or magazine, serves as a reminder of the beauty and intricacy of nature and the unique relationships that exist between different species. The silk worm and the woman in the illustration may seem like an unlikely pair, but their connection is a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the enduring human fascination with its mysteries.
