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
Step back in time to the grand opening night at the National Skating Palace, London, in 1884. This print captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing the elegance and excitement of ice skating as a recreational sport during the late 19th century. The image transports us to Regents Street, where this magnificent ice rink once stood proudly on the site now occupied by the iconic London Palladium. The black and white format adds a timeless charm to this group portrait, featuring both male and female skaters gracefully gliding across the glistening ice. Indoor leisure activities were gaining popularity during this era, with ice skating becoming an increasingly fashionable pastime for Europeans. In Britain specifically, it was seen as a symbol of refinement and sophistication among high society. As we admire this remarkable print from Hulton Archive's collection, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while also appreciating our shared love for winter sports. Let us cherish these historical prints and engravings that offer glimpses into bygone eras like this one – capturing not only moments but also cultural shifts that have shaped our present-day enjoyment of such activities
