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.

The Smokers Promenade,
EDITORS COMMENTS
captured in this 1876 photograph, offers a captivating glimpse into the universal appeal of tobacco as a form of comfort and relaxation. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an assortment of individuals from various walks of life, all united by their shared enjoyment of smoking. In the foreground, a man in a grand palace setting puffs on a majestic cigar, exuding an air of sophistication and affluence. In stark contrast, a man in a humble hovel can be seen in the background, engrossed in thought as he takes a contemplative drag from his pipe. The promenade, a popular gathering place for the community, serves as the backdrop to this diverse scene. The caption "Smoking is the consolation of the universal nation; From the hovel to the palace, All enjoy tobaccos solace," encapsulates the essence of this photograph. Tobacco was a common bond that transcended social and economic boundaries, providing comfort and solace to people from all walks of life. The men in this photograph, with their pipes, cigars, and cigarettes, represent the widespread popularity of smoking during this era. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of tobacco as a source of comfort and camaraderie, and serves as a fascinating window into the past. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human connection that can be forged over the simplest of pleasures, and the power of shared experiences to bring people together. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking representation of the universal human experience, and a testament to the enduring allure of tobacco as a source of comfort and enjoyment.
