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 chilling and infamous Salem witchcraft trials of the 1690s. The image depicts a trial scene in which a suspected witch is being interrogated within the walls of a colonial courtroom in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hand-colored with intricate detail, this 19th-century woodcut illustration transports us to an era filled with fear, superstition, and religious fervor. The atmosphere is tense as justice hangs in the balance. A stern judge presides over the proceedings while witnesses give their testimonies amidst an air thick with prejudice and suspicion. The accused woman stands at the center of it all, her face reflecting both vulnerability and defiance. In this haunting depiction, we witness not only an individual on trial but also a society grappling with its own demons. The mass hysteria surrounding accusations of witchcraft led to countless lives being shattered by persecution and victimization. It serves as a stark reminder of how easily fear can cloud judgment and lead to grave injustices. As we gaze upon this piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded that even within our pursuit for truth and justice lies the potential for darkness to prevail over reason. This photograph encapsulates not only one moment from America's past but also serves as a powerful symbol for civil rights struggles throughout history – reminding us never to forget those who suffered under such religious persecution or fell victim to societal prejudices fueled by ignorance and paranoia.
