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.

London Watchman with his Lantern by Moonlight, 1776 - A Glimpse into the Nighttime Vigilance of Georgian London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving by John Bogle transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. The image depicts a dedicated watchman diligently patrolling his shift under the enchanting glow of moonlight. Standing tall in his distinctive hat, he exudes an air of authority and protection. The watchman's lantern illuminates the darkened street, casting long shadows that add an element of mystery to this nocturnal scene. With fob watch in hand, he reads the time with precision, ensuring that every hour is accounted for during his duty. In a city where safety was paramount, these nightwatchmen played a crucial role in maintaining order and security. Their presence brought reassurance to both residents and visitors alike as they safeguarded against potential dangers lurking in the shadows. Bogle's meticulous attention to detail captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of dedication and responsibility carried by these guardians of the night. This print serves as a poignant reminder of their tireless efforts to protect Londoners during an era when darkness often concealed unseen threats. As we admire this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate those who have worked tirelessly throughout history to ensure our safety and well-being - like this nameless watchman who silently stood guard over Georgian London's streetscape.
