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
A poignant snapshot of daily life in a European village during the 1960s, this image captures the back-breaking labor of a washerwoman as she wades into the muddy waters of a river to clean her community's clothes. Clad in a simple dress and wearing sabots, or clogs, she expertly maneuvers a washboard over a large wooden basket filled with soapy water. The river's current gently rocks her as she scrubs each piece of clothing against the stones, the water stained with the grime and dirt of the community's garments. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the simple act of washing clothes was a communal and labor-intensive process. The woman's expression is one of determination and focus, her hands calloused from years of washing. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with trees and foliage providing a picturesque backdrop to the scene. Despite the discomfort and hardship of the task, the washerwoman's work was an essential part of village life. The clothes, once clean, would be hung out to dry on nearby trees or lines, the scent of fresh laundry mingling with the natural aromas of the forest. This image offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of women throughout history, and the simple pleasures that can be found in the most ordinary of tasks.
