23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This evocative photograph captures the charm and simplicity of rural life in the early 1900s in the picturesque village of Broughton, located near Preston, Fulwood, and Lancashire, England. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of a bygone era. The quaint cottages, with their whitewashed walls and thatched roofs, huddle together around the village green, creating a sense of community and togetherness. The village green, dotted with trees and surrounded by lush greenery, serves as the heart of the village, where residents would gather for social events, games, and celebrations. In the background, the rolling hills and open fields stretch out, providing ample space for agriculture and livestock rearing, which were the main sources of livelihood for the villagers. The nearby River Ribble, not visible in the photograph, would have provided a source of water for both domestic and agricultural use. The horse-drawn carts and wagons, parked haphazardly along the cobbled streets, speak of the reliance on horses for transportation and the absence of motorized vehicles. The villagers, dressed in traditional clothing, go about their daily chores, oblivious to the modern world that was slowly encroaching upon them. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and self-sufficiency of rural communities in the early 1900s, and a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of country living. It invites us to reflect on the changes that have taken place over the years and to appreciate the beauty and richness of our past.
