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 print by Paul Felix, we are transported into the enchanting world of corn dollies. The image showcases Bert Manton, a master craftsman who has dedicated his life to preserving and teaching this ancient craft that spans thousands of years. As we peer into Bert's workshop in Woodford Halse, Northamptonshire, we witness the delicate artistry involved in creating these intricate corn dollies. With expert hands and unwavering focus, he meticulously weaves together stalks of corn to fashion these unique creations. Each one is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance behind this traditional craft. The composition exudes warmth and authenticity as soft natural light bathes the scene, casting gentle shadows on the wooden workbench where Bert brings his visions to life. Surrounding him are twelve completed corn dollies - a testament to his mastery and dedication. Paul Felix's photography beautifully captures not only the physicality of Bert's craftsmanship but also hints at the intangible connection between past generations who have practiced this age-old tradition. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there are still individuals like Bert who keep alive customs deeply rooted in our heritage. This print invites us to appreciate both the skillful artistry behind each corn dolly and its historical significance as an enduring link between generations past and present.
