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 engraving transports us back to 19th century Whitechapel, London. The image showcases the historic Whitechapel Almshouses, a testament to philanthropy and community support during a time of poverty and hardship. Built and endowed by William Meggs, these almshouses were later repaired, improved, and further endowed by Benjamin Goodwin. The intricate details of the architecture are beautifully captured in this print, showcasing the grandeur of the buildings against a backdrop of bustling street scenes. The scene evokes a sense of compassion as we imagine the lives of those who sought refuge within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by poverty and struggle, there were individuals like Meggs and Goodwin who dedicated themselves to improving the lives of others. Published in January 1819, this engraving offers us not only an insight into historical architecture but also into the social fabric of Whitechapel at that time. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's Peter Jackson Collection, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value while reflecting on how far society has come since then. Let this print be a testament to resilience and generosity – an enduring symbol that reminds us all to lend a helping hand whenever possible.
