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 print takes us back to the haunting era of the Salem witchcraft trials in 1692. The image showcases a witness testifying at one of these infamous trials, providing a glimpse into the intense atmosphere that surrounded this dark chapter in American history. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut from the 19th century brings to life the traditional and historic aspects of this illustration. It transports us to a colonial courtroom where justice was sought amidst an atmosphere tainted by suspicion and fear. The Puritan settlers of Massachusetts Bay Colony believed they were combating evil spirits through their relentless persecution of those accused of witchcraft. In this scene, we witness a victim turned accused as they face interrogation under the watchful eyes of judges and colonists alike. Prejudice runs deep within these walls as witnesses testify against alleged witches, fueling mass hysteria throughout Salem Village. This powerful visual representation serves as a reminder of how religious persecution can lead to grave consequences when mixed with superstition and paranoia. It sheds light on an important period in North American history when civil rights were overshadowed by mass hysteria and unfounded accusations. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let it serve as a solemn reminder that even in our pursuit for justice, prejudice can cloud our judgment and perpetuate injustice if left unchecked.
