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
This black and white lithograph captures the new Bethlem Hospital in Southwark, London, circa 1825. The hospital was relocated to this site around 1815 after the previous building was deemed structurally unsound. Known as Bedlam or Bethlehem Hospital, it stands as a testament to the evolving understanding of mental health during the 19th century. The image showcases the grand exterior of this renowned psychiatric institution, which played a significant role in British medicine and mental healthcare at that time. Its imposing architecture reflects both its purpose and significance within society. The monochrome composition emphasizes the starkness of the scene, highlighting the gravity of mental illness and its treatment during this era. The print's clarity allows us to appreciate intricate details such as windows, columns, and other architectural elements that contribute to its overall grandeur. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into an important chapter in England's medical history. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of mental health conditions. As we observe this image today, it prompts reflection on how societies have evolved their approach towards those suffering from mental illnesses over centuries past.
