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.

Captured in the Autumn of 1909, this enchanting image showcases the elegant art of hat selection as an Edwardian woman tries on an array of hats during a sale. Seated at a dressing table, the woman's refined silhouette is framed by the ornate mirror, her regal posture exuding an air of grace and sophistication. The sales assistant, attentively standing behind her, holds up an exquisite hat adorned with plumes, her gloved hand delicately guiding the woman's gaze to its intricate details. The woman's other hand rests on her lap, holding another hat, her thoughtful expression indicating careful consideration. The scene is set in a stylish shop, with the warm, inviting glow of autumn sunlight filtering through the windows, casting a gentle, golden hue over the room. The sale's bounty of hats spills over the table, each one unique in design and embellishment. This moment in time transports us back to an era of refined elegance and leisurely shopping experiences. The woman's quest for the perfect hat, expertly guided by the sales assistant, is a testament to the enduring allure of hats and the art of personal adornment. The crisp, cool air of autumn adds an element of urgency to the shopping expedition, as the woman prepares for the changing seasons. This photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the evocative work of Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the timeless charm of hat shopping during the Edwardian era.
