Courtyard Criminal Justice System Derelict Gaol Jail Penitentiary Prison Yard Regency
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 transports us back to the year 1850, offering a glimpse into the haunting entrance of Tothill Fields Prison. Painted with watercolors on paper by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this piece captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases an imposing high wall that encloses the prison courtyard, evoking a sense of confinement and isolation. The derelict exterior of the prison stands as a testament to its history within London's criminal justice system. This regency-era jail, or gaol as it was known then, served as a penitentiary for those who had fallen afoul of the law. Its solemn presence serves as a reminder of society's efforts to maintain order and enforce punishment. As we gaze upon this scene, our imagination wanders through time, envisioning what life may have been like within these walls. The yard beyond beckons us to explore further; perhaps it once echoed with footsteps and conversations among inmates or guards. This remarkable photograph from Fine Art Finder allows us to contemplate not only the physical structure itself but also its significance in shaping London's history. It invites reflection on themes such as justice, imprisonment, and societal norms throughout different periods.
