31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 coloured lantern slide, titled "The Bottle, Part 4" from the series entitled "Temperance Tale," depicts a poignant and heart-wrenching scene from the early 1910s. The image shows a drunken man and his distressed family gathered around a fireplace in an empty room. The man, with tears streaming down his face, cradles a bottle in one hand, while his wife and children weep over the loss of their youngest child. The room is dimly lit, with only the flickering fire casting an eerie glow over the scene. The curtains hanging in the background are drawn closed, adding to the sense of isolation and despair. The title "Curtains & Flags" is written on the slide box, suggesting that this image may have been part of a larger presentation or lecture on the topic of temperance and the destructive effects of alcohol on families. This powerful and moving image serves as a stark reminder of the human toll of addiction and the importance of temperance, a message that resonated deeply during the Progressive Era and beyond.
