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.

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
The captivating frontispiece to Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit, created in 1857 by the talented engraver Browne (also known as Phiz), transports viewers into the heart of Victorian England. This remarkable print, now part of a private collection, encapsulates the essence of this beloved novel and its unforgettable characters. As we gaze upon this intricate artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the title page featuring Amy Dorrit herself. With her delicate features and pensive expression, she becomes a symbol of hope amidst the harsh realities depicted within these pages. Intriguingly, behind Amy stands an imposing entrance gate that serves as a visual metaphor for Marshalsea - the infamous debtors' prison where much of the story unfolds. The gate's iron bars represent not only physical confinement but also societal constraints that trap individuals within their circumstances. Through masterful use of light and shadow, Browne skillfully captures both despair and resilience in his depiction of this pivotal location. We can almost feel the weightiness of Marshalsea's history emanating from every stroke. This engraving invites us to delve deeper into Dickens' world; it beckons us to explore themes such as social inequality and personal redemption that remain relevant even today. It is a testament to both Dickens' literary genius and Browne's artistic prowess that this image continues to captivate audiences over a century later. With each viewing, we discover new layers within this evocative frontispiece - an enduring reminder that great art
