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
In this photo print, we see Mr. Jimmy Burrows, a skilled farmhand on Westwood Farm in Westerham, Kent. He is proudly showcasing his flail to a group of young visitors, eager to learn about the traditional farming techniques used during the 1930s. The image transports us back in time to an era when agriculture played a vital role in sustaining communities. Mr. Burrows stands tall amidst the picturesque green and pleasant land of Kent, surrounded by a rustic farm building that echoes the simplicity and charm of rural life. The flail he holds represents an essential tool for threshing corn - separating grain from its husks or straw. With remarkable efficiency, one man like Mr. Burrows could thresh nearly a sack of corn per hour! This glimpse into the past reminds us of the hard work and dedication required to sustain our food supply. As we observe this scene unfold before our eyes, it's impossible not to appreciate the importance of preserving these agricultural traditions for future generations. The interaction between Mr. Burrows and the curious children highlights their eagerness to understand their heritage and connect with those who have shaped their community through industry and hard work. This evocative photograph captures both history and hope as it invites us to reflect on how far we've come while cherishing our roots in farming practices that have sustained us throughout time.
