Bowl Cooling Down Heat Watering Can

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
In this delightful snapshot captured by Alan Olley, we are transported back to the scorching Easter of 1976. Three-year-old Tom Bardy finds respite from the sweltering heat in an improvised shower bath set up in his family's backyard in Fulham. As temperatures soared during this mini heatwave, children like Tom sought creative ways to cool down. With a mischievous grin on his face, Tom stands barefooted under a makeshift shower created from a watering can suspended above him. The refreshing water cascades over his tiny frame, providing much-needed relief from the relentless sun rays. His excitement is palpable as he revels in this simple pleasure amidst nature's elements. The image encapsulates the essence of childhood summers - carefree and filled with innocent joy. It transports us to a time when cooling off meant embracing simplicity and finding solace in everyday objects like bowls and watering cans. Alan Olley's photograph beautifully captures not only Tom's exuberance but also the spirit of those long-gone days when hot weather brought communities together outdoors. This nostalgic piece serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, happiness can be found through resourcefulness and imagination. As we gaze upon this charming print, we are reminded of our own cherished memories spent frolicking under summer skies – moments that will forever remain etched within our hearts.
