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 print takes us back to the haunting atmosphere of Pentonville Prison in London, circa 1850. The image showcases a single cell within the prison, revealing the harsh conditions endured by its inhabitants. Solitary confinement was enforced under the separate system operated at this penitentiary. The sparse furnishings within this confined space are strikingly depicted. A suspended bed hangs from the walls, serving as both a place for rest and an ever-present reminder of imprisonment. Adjacent to it stands a loom, symbolizing day work that prisoners were expected to engage in during their time behind bars. The photograph's monochromatic palette enhances its somber mood, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow that permeates every corner of this desolate cell. The absence of people further accentuates the isolation experienced by those incarcerated here. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we cannot help but reflect on humanity's complex relationship with justice and punishment throughout history. This thought-provoking image serves as a poignant reminder of past practices while also prompting contemplation about our present-day correctional systems
