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
This photograph showcases the iconic Holloway Brooch, a historic emblem of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) Suffragette movement. Designed by the remarkable Sylvia Pankhurst in 1909, this brooch was a symbol of bravery and resilience, presented to WSPU prisoners upon their release from Holloway Prison. The intricately designed brooch features the Portcullis symbol of the House of Commons, encircled by chains and broad arrows, all in the suffragette colors of purple, white, and green. Known as the "Victoria Cross of the Union," the Holloway Brooch was the first of its kind, issued by the WSPU to honor the courage and determination of the suffragettes who risked their freedom in the fight for women's suffrage. This powerful image not only captures the essence of the suffragette movement but also serves as a reminder of the pivotal role Sylvia Pankhurst played in shaping the history of women's rights and suffrage in the United Kingdom.
