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 vintage engraving captures the haunting scene from William Hogarth's Gin Lane, a powerful depiction of the perils of gin consumption in contrast to the virtues of beer. Set in St Giles, an infamous slum district, this artwork portrays the squalor and despair that plagued a community dependent on gin. With shocking imagery of infanticide, starvation, madness, decay, and suicide, Hogarth's satire aims to expose the devastating consequences of excessive alcohol abuse. In this 18th-century style print by Duncan1890 from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported back to a time when London was riddled with poverty and moral decay. The retro-styled illustration showcases women trapped in a cycle of misery within this poor area. The city life depicted is one filled with rotting streets and rampant crime. As we delve into English culture through this antique woodcut image, it becomes evident how deeply rooted social issues such as child abuse and alcoholism were during that era. The black-and-white portrayal emphasizes the distraught emotions felt by those affected by these negative circumstances. Through his artistry, Hogarth exposes not only the physical but also emotional turmoil experienced by families living amidst such hardship. This print serves as a reminder of our history—a testament to both human resilience and society's capacity for change.
