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 photograph captures a Victorian christening ceremony taking place at a baptismal font in a beautiful church setting. The image, taken circa 1860 by the General Photographic Agency, showcases the solemnity and significance of this religious sacrament. In the foreground, we see an intimate group consisting of parents, godparents, and a vicar gathered around the ornate baptismal font. The baby being baptized is held gently by its mother as all eyes are fixed on the sacred ritual unfolding before them. The atmosphere exudes reverence and devotion as each person present plays their role in this important moment. The composition highlights both the architectural grandeur of the church interior and the symbolic importance of the baptismal font itself. Its intricate design stands as a testament to Victorian craftsmanship while serving as a vessel for spiritual rebirth. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where faith played an integral part in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural heritage within Christianity. Preserved through time, this print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic merit. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but be drawn into contemplating our own beliefs and traditions surrounding baptisms—a timeless tradition that continues to hold deep meaning for families across generations.
