23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This photograph captures the spirit of the suffragette movement through an unexpected subject – a feline advocate. In the image, a sleek cat dons a large picture hat adorned with the colors of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU): purple, white, and green. The hat is secured as a shawl with a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) badge, adding an air of determination and patriotism. A sign held in its paw reads, "We Demand the Vote," making it clear that this cat is not just a pretty accessory, but a vocal supporter of women's suffrage. The photograph, believed to have been taken around 1908, is a testament to the creativity and tenacity of the suffragette movement. The use of animals as symbols and mascots was a common tactic to gain public attention and support. This image, with its striking colors and powerful message, would have undoubtedly turned heads and sparked conversations about the importance of women's right to vote. The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century and continued into the early 20th century, was a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights. Women's suffrage was a long-fought battle, with activists facing arrests, force-feedings, and other forms of oppression. This photograph serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience of those who fought for the right to vote and the important role that symbols and creativity played in the movement.
