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
is a captivating print that captures the essence of William Blake's iconic poem from his collection "Songs of Innocence". This powerful image, created using raised etching with pen and watercolor, transports us to the harsh realities faced by young chimney sweepers during the Romantic era. In this poignant illustration, we see a young boy standing amidst billowing smoke and soot-covered chimneys. His frail figure is juxtaposed against the towering industrial landscape, symbolizing innocence trapped in an unforgiving world. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth a sense of despair as we witness the boy's weary expression and tattered clothing. Blake masterfully uses light and shadow to evoke emotions within us. The soft glow emanating from behind the boy hints at hope amidst darkness while emphasizing his vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even in dire circumstances, there is always room for resilience and optimism. This print not only showcases Blake's artistic prowess but also highlights his commitment to social commentary through visual storytelling. Through this piece, he sheds light on child labor issues prevalent during his time, urging viewers to confront societal injustices. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this timeless artwork continues to resonate with audiences today. Its enduring relevance stands as a testament to both Blake's genius and art's ability to provoke thought and inspire change across generations.
