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 print captures a young woman sitting in her armchair, completely engrossed in crocheting squares together. The image transports us back to the 1940s, a time when knitting blankets for the troops during World War Two was not just a hobby, but a vital contribution to the war effort.
The woman's focused expression and skilled hands tell a story of dedication and purpose as she works on her project. Each stitch is carefully placed, each square meticulously sewn together with precision and care.
In today's world of fast-paced technology and instant gratification, this image serves as a reminder of simpler times when household tasks like crocheting were not only common but also meaningful. It highlights the importance of preserving history and honoring those who made sacrifices for their country.
Displayed in a cabinet or framed on a wall, this historical photograph serves as a beautiful tribute to the women who played crucial roles during wartime. It symbolizes resilience, creativity, and strength in the face of adversity.
