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 the spirit of determination and community during the First World War, as members of the Women's Institute (WI) busily engage in making jam and wicker baskets in a kitchen setting, date back to 1915. The young women, dressed in old yet neatly pressed aprons, focus intently on their tasks, their faces reflecting a sense of great skill and effort. The jam pots on the stove are filled with bubbling fruit, while the wicker baskets, neatly stacked in the background, await the finishing touches. The Women's Institute, an organisation that began in England in 1897, played a vital role during the war years. With men away at the front, the WI stepped up to help with the war effort in numerous ways, including food production and fundraising. Making jam was an important way to preserve fruit and ensure a steady supply of sustenance for the troops and the local community. Wickerwork, too, was a useful skill, as the lightweight and durable baskets were ideal for transporting goods. The scene in this photograph exudes a sense of happiness and camaraderie, as the women work together to make a difference in their community during a time of great upheaval. The image is a poignant reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience of women during the First World War, and the important role that organisations like the Women's Institute played in supporting the war effort.
