FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 engraving, titled "A View of the Foundling Hospital, 1756" offers a glimpse into the remarkable architectural beauty and historical significance of this charitable institution. Created by Benjamin Cole in the late 18th century, this print showcases the exterior facade and grand gates that mark the entrance to the Foundling Hospital. Founded by Captain Thomas Coram in 1739, this establishment served as a sanctuary for abandoned children during a time when societal attitudes towards them were often callous. The hospital's mission was to provide shelter, care, and education for these vulnerable foundlings who had been left without families or support. The image captures not only the physical structure but also conveys a sense of hope and compassion through its depiction of orphaned children entering through its gates. The architecture itself is impressive; it exudes an air of dignity befitting an institution dedicated to such noble endeavors. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by those who sought refuge within these walls and the resilience they displayed in overcoming adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst difficult circumstances, acts of kindness can create lasting impact and change lives for generations to come.
