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
Halfpenny Ices: A Glimpse into Victorian Street Life". This black and white portrait by John Thomson takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1876. The image showcases a street vendor, his barrow brimming with delectable halfpenny ices, enticing passersby on a hot summer day. In this snapshot of history, we witness the convergence of food and commerce as the male vendor skillfully serves an eager customer while a female companion assists him. Their attire reflects their working-class roles and occupations, embodying the spirit of hard work that defined Victorian England. The confectionery barrow itself stands as a symbol of opportunity for these entrepreneurs who sought to make an honest living amidst the vibrant street trade culture. It represents not only sustenance but also joy and respite from daily struggles for those who could afford such simple pleasures. Thomson's lens captures more than just frozen treats; it encapsulates an entire era steeped in tradition and societal dynamics. This photograph offers us a glimpse into everyday life during this transformative period in Europe's history. As we admire this historical artifact preserved within Fine Art Storehouse's collection, let us appreciate how images like these provide valuable insights into our past. They remind us that even seemingly mundane moments can hold great significance when viewed through the lens of time.
