23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 print takes us back to the year 1844, capturing a significant moment in history - the rebuilding of the iconic British Museum. The image showcases a group of builders and surveyors diligently working together to reconstruct this architectural marvel. The pencil sketch on paper by George Scharf, known as George the Elder, beautifully portrays the essence of hard work and dedication. Each figure is meticulously detailed, showcasing their expertise in their respective roles. From architects with rolled-up blueprints to laborers with tools in hand, every individual contributes to this grand project. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as construction materials surround them. The workers are dressed in traditional attire for that era; some donning top hats symbolizing professionalism and sophistication even amidst manual labor. Scharf's study perfectly captures London's bustling atmosphere during this time period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in transforming dreams into reality through architecture. This remarkable piece from a private collection allows us to glimpse into history - witnessing how these skilled individuals worked tirelessly towards creating one of Britain's most treasured landmarks. As we admire this drawing today, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in shaping our cultural heritage.
