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 satirical image, titled "Suffragettes - Christmas Dinner in Holloway" by Lawson Wood, captures a humorous yet unsettling scene from the early 1900s women's suffrage movement in the UK. The photograph depicts four portly prison officers and policemen force-feeding a handcuffed suffragette Christmas pudding from the police buffet trolley in Holloway Prison, dating back to 1912. The suffragette, bound and seated, looks up with a determined expression, her eyes filled with a mix of defiance and resignation. The use of humor in this print is both ironic and biting, as the suffragettes were known for their hunger strikes as a form of protest for their right to vote. The mistreatment and unkindness meted out to these women by the authorities were a stark contrast to the festive spirit of the season. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the unjust treatment meted out to women during their fight for suffrage. The satirical nature of the print is further emphasized by the contrasting scenes of abundance and scarcity. While the officers and policemen enjoy a hearty Christmas dinner, the suffragette is denied even the basic human right to eat. The juxtaposition of the festive setting and the harsh reality of the situation underscores the injustice and the need for change. This print, with its powerful imagery and thought-provoking message, continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made by the suffragettes in their quest for women's rights.
