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 hard frost in the streets of London" takes us back to a chilly winter day in 19th century England. The image showcases the bustling streets of London covered in a thick layer of ice and snow, creating an enchanting scene that is both beautiful and treacherous. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men and women bundled up in heavy coats, braving the cold as they navigate their way through the icy streets. Horse-drawn carriages glide cautiously along the slippery roads, with their passengers tightly clutching onto their seats for stability. Children can be seen playing amidst the wintry wonderland, their rosy cheeks contrasting against the stark backdrop. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical effects of winter but also its impact on daily life. The hardened ground reflects how even simple tasks become more challenging during such extreme weather conditions. Yet despite these difficulties, there is a sense of resilience among those depicted - a determination to carry on with their routines despite nature's obstacles. Published in 1865 by Illustrated London News, this print serves as a historical record of London's harsh winters during that era. It reminds us of our ancestors' ability to adapt and persevere when faced with adversity brought about by Mother Nature herself.
