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 vintage print from Punch magazine, titled "The Coming Race. The surgeon of the future" created by George du Maurier in September 1872, offers a glimpse into the prevailing attitudes towards women in the medical profession during that era. In this satirical cartoon, du Maurier highlights the patronizing and dismissive stance male colleagues often held towards their female counterparts. The engraving depicts a scene where a group of male surgeons is gathered around an operating table while a lone woman stands on the sidelines. The men are engrossed in their work, completely oblivious to her presence or expertise. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of how women were marginalized and undervalued within traditionally male-dominated professions. During this period, feminism was still emerging as a powerful force advocating for gender equality across various spheres of life, including education and employment opportunities. Women faced significant barriers when pursuing careers in medicine or any other profession deemed suitable only for men. George du Maurier's cartoon captures both the challenges faced by pioneering women who dared to enter these professions and society's resistance to change. It serves as an important historical artifact that sheds light on past struggles while reminding us of how far we have come in promoting gender equality within professional realms today.
