31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 powerful image captures a moment in history that reflects the harsh realities faced by the working class in 19th century London. The men employed chopping firewood in the casual ward of a London workhouse in 1895 are depicted engaged in back-breaking labor, highlighting the struggle for survival and basic necessities during this time.
The stark contrast between the cold, bare surroundings and the physical exertion of chopping wood serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by those living on the margins of society. These men, facing unemployment and poverty, were forced to seek refuge in workhouses where they performed grueling tasks just to earn their keep.
Through this photo print, we are given a glimpse into a world marked by inequality and social injustice. It is a testament to the resilience and perseverance of individuals who had to fight against overwhelming odds just to survive. The image serves as a sobering reminder of how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and social welfare since that time.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Bridgeman Images, let us remember those who struggled for dignity and respect in an unforgiving world. May their stories inspire us to continue striving for a more equitable society where all individuals have access to basic needs and opportunities for advancement.
