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 engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image portrays Giltspur Street Compter, a notorious prison for debtors that operated from 1791 until its closure in 1854. Designed by George Dance the Younger, this imposing structure was under the control of sheriffs and served as a place of punishment for those unable to repay their debts. The artist, Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, skillfully captures the essence of this Dickensian era scene. The intricate details showcase a street teeming with life - shoppers going about their daily routines while prisoners peer out from behind rusticated bars. This juxtaposition between freedom and confinement is strikingly evident in this print. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported to an era where debt imprisonment was an unfortunate reality for many individuals struggling financially. The Georgian architecture adds another layer of charm to the composition, reminding us of London's rich history. This print offers a glimpse into a chapter of social history that shaped Victorian England. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling streets filled with shoppers and merchants, there existed a dark underbelly where debtors faced harsh consequences for their financial struggles.
