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
by Muriel Dawson: A Charming Portrait of Childhood Bedtime in the 1940s This enchanting black-and-white photograph, titled "Sleepy-Head" by Muriel Dawson, captures the essence of a peaceful and innocent bedtime routine in the 1940s. The image features a young girl, dressed in a white nightgown with a delicate floral pattern, sitting on the edge of her bed. Her dark, curly hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her sweet, smiling face. In one hand, she cradles a doll with a nightgown that matches her own, while in the other, she holds a teddy bear close to her chest. The expression on her face is one of contentment and tiredness, as if she is ready to drift off to dreamland. The girl's room is dimly lit, with the warm glow of a bedside lamp casting a gentle light over the scene. The walls are adorned with soft pastel colors, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The placement of the doll and teddy bear on the bed next to the little girl adds to the sense of comfort and security, suggesting that these beloved companions have been a part of her bedtime routine for some time. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Muriel Dawson, is a poignant reminder of the simple joys and comforts of childhood. The image has a timeless quality, making it a cherished piece for anyone who appreciates the beauty of everyday moments and the history of family life. This charming photograph is a must-have for those who long for a glimpse into the past and the innocence of childhood.
