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.

A Humorous Take on Dental Treatment in the Victorian Era: A Dentist Pulling a Tooth Description: This intriguing photograph captures a comical moment in the Victorian dental clinic, as a dentist skillfully extracts a tooth from an anxious patient. Dressed in the formal attire of the late 19th century, the dentist stands confidently over his seated patient, who clutches the arms of the dental chair for support. The patient's expression is one of trepidation and alarm, as beads of sweat form on his forehead. The dentist, however, remains unphased, his face a picture of concentration as he deftly pulls the tooth with a pair of forceps. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of other dental instruments and various scraps of paper and fabric scattered about the room, suggesting a busy and cluttered workspace. The humorous element of this image lies in the contrast between the dentist's calm demeanor and the patient's obvious discomfort. The comical aspect is amplified by the patient's exaggerated posture and the dentist's seemingly nonchalant attitude towards the painful procedure. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the dental profession during the Victorian era, and serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience required of patients during medical treatments before the advent of modern anesthesia. The Victorian era was known for its strict adherence to etiquette and decorum, yet this photograph reveals a more human and relatable side to the dental profession. The image invites us to reflect on the shared experience of dental discomfort and the importance of finding humor in even the most painful situations.
