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 photograph captures a historic moment in the construction of the Hotel-Dieu, the oldest hospital in Paris. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of this iconic building. The Hotel-Dieu is situated on Ile de La Cite, an island in the heart of Paris. It was part of Baron Georges Eugene Haussmann's ambitious urban regeneration project during the Second Empire era. The photograph provides a glimpse into this period of haussmannization, where vast improvements were made to transform Paris into a modern city. The facade of the Hotel-Dieu stands tall and majestic against its surroundings. Its intricate details and imposing structure reflect both its medical purpose and architectural significance. This image serves as a testament to how architecture can blend functionality with aesthetics seamlessly. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before their eyes. The construction workers diligently working on-site remind us of their contribution towards creating a space dedicated to health and healing. Today, while much has changed around it, the Hotel-Dieu still stands as a symbol of resilience and progress. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its historical importance but also highlights how artistry can be found even within photographs capturing monumental structures like hospitals.
