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 touching illustration captures a moment of pure kindness and compassion between two children in the 19th century. The orphan, who likely faced hardships and struggles beyond their years, is being comforted by a younger school friend with a gentle kiss on the cheek. In a time when orphans were often overlooked and marginalized, this simple act of friendship speaks volumes about the power of human connection. The bond between these two children transcends societal norms and expectations, showing that true friendship knows no boundaries. The innocence and sincerity in their interaction is beautifully portrayed by artist John Lawson, who has captured the essence of childhood empathy and support. As we look at this image from over a century ago, we are reminded that acts of kindness can make a world of difference to those in need. It serves as a timeless reminder that compassion and understanding have the ability to bring light into even the darkest corners of our lives. Let us take inspiration from this heartwarming scene and strive to be like the young school friend - offering comfort, solace, and love to those around us who may be struggling. In doing so, we can create a more compassionate world for all.
