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 black and white lithograph, titled "View from Charing Cross looking towards the Strand, 1842" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The artist behind this masterpiece is Thomas Shotter Boys, a renowned English painter known for his meticulous attention to detail. In this print, Boys skillfully captures a panoramic view of Charing Cross as seen from one of its busiest intersections. The viewer's gaze is drawn down the wide expanse of the Strand, lined with elegant Georgian buildings on either side. The architectural grandeur is further enhanced by the presence of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily routines. The scene comes alive with activity - people hurrying along the sidewalks or stopping to chat; street vendors selling their wares; and even a few children playing amidst all the commotion. The atmospheric perspective adds depth to the composition as we look beyond Charing Cross into the distance where St Martin-in-the-Fields Church stands tall against an overcast sky. This lithograph not only serves as a visual documentation of London's urban landscape during that era but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times gone by. It allows us to immerse ourselves in history and marvel at how much has changed while recognizing certain elements that remain timeless. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through careful reproduction, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
