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 evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the bustling Farringdon Market in London during the late 19th century. The image, titled "Watercress Girls Buying Their Stock at Farringdon Market in London," was taken in the year 1882 and offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the watercress girls and the thriving street trade of fresh produce. The market, teeming with activity, is a symphony of sights, sounds, and smells. The watercress girls, dressed in colorful shawls and aprons, are seen haggling and bartering with market vendors for their daily stock of watercress. The vegetable-laden baskets they carry on their heads are a testament to their hard work and dedication to their trade. The market, a hub of activity, was an essential part of London's food supply chain. The watercress girls played a vital role in bringing this nutritious and popular vegetable to the city's residents. The crisp, peppery taste of watercress was a welcome addition to the monotonous diet of the working-class Londoners, and the girls' ability to source and sell it fresh every day made them an integral part of the community. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of food trade in London. The bustling markets, like Farringdon, were the lifeblood of the city, providing fresh produce to the residents and offering a platform for small traders to make a living. The image of the watercress girls, with their determined expressions and piles of watercress, is a testament to their resilience and the importance of their trade in the city's food system.
