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 in time to the year 1931, capturing a nostalgic scene at the Findon Sheep Fair. The image showcases rows of sheep pens, filled with woolly creatures awaiting their fate. It is a snapshot of rural life, where shepherds in traditional smocks tend to their flocks while potential buyers inspect the animals. The atmosphere is bustling as farmers and locals gather around, eager to witness this age-old tradition unfold. In the background, a tent stands tall amidst the open field, providing shelter for those seeking respite from the elements or engaging in business discussions. The presence of a shepherd's crook signifies not only its practical use but also serves as an emblematic symbol of this pastoral setting. The photograph transports us into an era when agriculture played a vital role in sustaining communities. It evokes feelings of simplicity and connection to nature that are often lost in our modern world. As we gaze upon these sheep boxes neatly arranged within each pen, it becomes evident how integral wool production was during this time period. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into our agricultural heritage. It reminds us of the importance placed on community gatherings such as sheep fairs - events that brought people together and sustained local economies through trade and commerce
