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 print from Historic England takes us back in time to the Zoological Gardens in Regents Park, London during the late 19th century. The stereoscopic view beautifully captures a scene that was once a popular attraction for both locals and tourists alike - elephant rides. In this snapshot of Victorian life, we see members of the public eagerly mounting one of these majestic creatures, their faces filled with excitement and wonder. The towering presence of the elephant against the backdrop of lush greenery creates a striking contrast, reminding us of nature's grandeur even within an urban setting. Photographed by York & Son between 1870 and 1900, this image not only showcases a momentary escape from everyday life but also reflects society's fascination with exotic animals during that era. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with wildlife and our desire to experience it up close. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back in time to an age when zoos were places where people could marvel at creatures they had only read about or seen in illustrations. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of animal welfare and conservation efforts while also prompting reflection on our responsibility towards these magnificent beings. This print is not just a historical artifact; it is a window into an enchanting chapter of human-animal interaction that continues to captivate our imagination today.
