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
Capturing the essence of rural bliss, this enchanting print takes us back to a picturesque spring day in May 1939 at Graffham, West Sussex. Nestled amidst an idyllic orchard bursting with blossoming fruit trees, seven open-sided chicken coops stand proudly as guardians of nature's delicate harmony. The scene is alive with the joyful energy of newly hatched chicks, eagerly exploring their surroundings and scratching around in the lush green grass nearby. The Garland Collection preserves this timeless snapshot of life on a West Sussex farm, where free-range chickens roam freely amidst nature's bountiful beauty. This image transports us to a simpler time when agriculture flourished under clear blue skies and fragrant blooms filled the air. As we gaze upon this charming tableau, we are reminded of the importance placed on sustainable farming practices even then - hen houses and pens thoughtfully designed to provide shelter while allowing these feathered inhabitants ample freedom to express their natural instincts. This photograph from West Sussex County Council's archives serves as a gentle reminder that our connection with nature has always been vital for both our well-being and that of our environment. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures found within rural landscapes and encourages us to cherish moments like these that celebrate life's inherent beauty.
