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
A Woman's Devotion to the Homefront: Sewing for the Soldiers of World War I, 1917 This evocative photograph captures the image of a woman intently focused on her sewing as she contributes to the war effort during World War I. Dated 1917, this poignant scene reflects the spirit of the homefront, where women played a vital role in supporting the soldiers on the frontlines. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and brought about significant changes to the social and economic landscape. With millions of men away at war, women stepped up to fill the void in various industries, including textiles and clothing production. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of women during this period. The woman in the photograph sits at a small table, her posture upright and her expression serious as she sews. Her hands move nimbly over the fabric, the needle gliding through the material with practiced ease. The table is cluttered with sewing supplies, including a thimble, scissors, and threads, evidence of countless hours spent creating garments for the soldiers. Magazines and patterns cover the walls and table, providing inspiration and guidance for her sewing projects. This image speaks to the widespread practice of needlework as a means of support for the war effort, with women across the country sewing uniforms, bandages, and other essential items for the troops. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by women during World War I. It encapsulates the spirit of the homefront, where women demonstrated their dedication and resourcefulness in the face of adversity, and their unwavering commitment to supporting the soldiers on the frontlines.
