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 engraving, titled "A Group of Criminals in the Chief Prison, Stamboul" offers a glimpse into the dark underbelly of 19th-century Constantinople. The image transports us to a time when Europe and the Middle East collided, as depicted by English School artists. The scene is set within the confines of the notorious Chief Prison in Stamboul (now Istanbul), Turkey. A motley crew of prisoners fills the frame, their faces etched with stories untold. Each figure exudes an air of desperation and defiance, revealing glimpses into their tumultuous lives. The composition skillfully captures both Turkish culture and European influence prevalent during this era. The intricate engravings bring forth details that highlight Central Turkey's rich history while simultaneously reflecting broader themes of crime and punishment across continents. As we examine this print further, it becomes evident that these criminals are not mere individuals but representatives of a larger narrative. They symbolize societal unrest and serve as reminders that even behind bars, human resilience prevails. Through its historical significance and artistic execution, this engraving invites viewers to contemplate notions of justice, cultural intersections, and humanity's capacity for redemption. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time and space by immortalizing moments that would otherwise be forgotten. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an invaluable piece from our collective past—a visual portal connecting us with distant lands and long-forgotten tales.
