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
In this intriguing photograph from 1909, a hen-pecked husband is seen suffering as his wife takes charge while he cleans out the fireplace. The caption reads, "My Wives joined the suffrage movement. (I've suffered ever since!)" The image offers a humorous yet poignant commentary on the changing roles and dynamics within families during the early days of the women's suffrage movement in the United States. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained significant momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph captures a snapshot of the impact this movement had on family life, as women like the one in the image began to assert their newfound independence and demand equal rights. The husband in the photograph appears resigned to his role as the one who follows orders, while his wife confidently directs him from the sidelines. The image is a reminder of the challenges and adjustments that came with the shift towards gender equality, and the ways in which traditional gender roles were challenged and redefined. The photograph, titled "Suffragette Hen Pecked Husband Suffers," is a fascinating historical artifact that offers insights into the social and cultural changes of the time. It is a reminder of the important role that women's activism played in shaping the world we live in today, and the ongoing struggle for gender equality that continues to be relevant in many parts of the world.
