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 haunting engraving captures the grim reality of the Plague of London in 1665, a devastating epidemic that swept through the city with deadly consequences. In this scene, bodies afflicted by the plague are being consigned to a communal grave in a plague pit, a stark reminder of the sheer scale of death and suffering that occurred during this dark chapter in history.
The artist has depicted the somber procession with meticulous detail, showcasing the desperation and despair felt by those tasked with disposing of the deceased. The figures are rendered with an eerie sense of anonymity, their faces obscured or turned away as they carry out their grim duty.
The crowded burial site is filled with rows upon rows of hastily dug graves, each one serving as a final resting place for yet another victim of this merciless disease. The atmosphere is heavy with grief and fear, as Londoners grapple with the harsh realities of contagion and mortality.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who endured such harrowing times. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and collective capacity to overcome even the most dire circumstances.
