17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 takes us back in time to the interior of the kitchen at Holloway Prison in London, circa 1850. Published in The Criminal Prisons of London, a compilation of articles entitled The Great World of London by Henry Mayhew, this image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life within these historic prison walls. The scene is both haunting and intriguing as we observe women prisoners diligently working amidst the stark surroundings. Their faces tell stories of hardship and resilience, their worn-out aprons evidence of countless hours spent preparing meals for fellow inmates. The composition captures every detail with precision - from the large cauldrons simmering on open fires to shelves stacked high with pots and pans. Sunlight streams through small windows above, casting shadows that add depth to this otherwise gloomy space. Hulton Archive's expertise shines through in preserving this significant historical moment. Through their meticulous restoration process, they have breathed new life into an image frozen in time over a century ago. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the harsh realities faced by those incarcerated but also of society's evolving approach towards criminal justice. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within these confines, humanity endures – evident through the determination etched on each woman's face. This remarkable piece from Hulton Archive allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
