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 captures a significant moment in British history, depicting a committee of the House of Commons at the Fleet Prison in 1729. The illustration, created by renowned artist William Hogarth and featured in Hutchinsons Story of the British Nation circa 1923, showcases a vivid scene that transports viewers back to the Georgian era. At the center of attention is Thomas Bambridge, the infamous warden of the Fleet Prison. In this dramatic image, he finds himself under scrutiny as James Oglethorpe from the Parliamentary Gaols Committee questions him relentlessly. The panel's visit to Fleet on February 27th was aimed at investigating allegations of extortion and cruelty within the criminal justice system. The composition exudes an air of tension and intrigue as politicians gather around Bambridge, who stands defiantly amidst his reputation for notorious practices. This visual narrative sheds light on an aspect of society often overlooked - debtors' prisons and their harsh conditions during the eighteenth century. Through this artwork, we witness not only Hogarth's exceptional talent but also his ability to capture historical moments with great detail and emotion. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter while emphasizing its significance within British political history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded once again how art can serve as a powerful medium for storytelling and preserving our collective memory.
