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.

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 thought-provoking engraving titled "Are we Becoming a Nation of Mendicants?, the Vision of a Victim of the Begging Epidemic" captures the essence of a societal issue that plagued 19th-century England. The image, created by an anonymous English artist, depicts a scene filled with demands and letters from individuals seeking financial assistance. The historical context surrounding this artwork reveals the outbreak of a begging epidemic during that time. Charities were inundated with requests for help as poverty swept through the nation. This engraving serves as both a commentary on this pressing issue and an illustration for The Picture Magazine in 1894. The victim at the center of this vision represents countless individuals who found themselves trapped in destitution due to circumstances beyond their control. Their desperation is palpable, highlighting the dire need for charity and compassion within society. Through its meticulous details and digital cleaning, this print allows us to delve into history and reflect upon our own present-day challenges related to poverty and social inequality. It reminds us that even though times have changed, there are enduring issues that continue to plague nations worldwide. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it prompts us to question whether our modern society has truly evolved or if we too are becoming victims of an invisible epidemic - one where mendicancy takes various forms such as homelessness or economic disparity. Let it serve as a reminder that empathy and support can make all the difference in transforming lives affected by these afflictions.
