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
Bloomsbury Square, London in 1787: A Glimpse into Georgian Elegance This exquisite coloured aquatint engraving, titled "Bloomsbury Square," is a captivating window into the past, offering a glimpse of London in 1787. The image is part of the Mayson Beeton Collection, held by Historic England Photo Library. Bloomsbury Square, located in the heart of London, is a tranquil and elegant square that has retained much of its Georgian charm. The engraving reveals a meticulously planned urban landscape, with a grid of uniformly designed houses surrounding the square. The buildings, characterized by their red brick facades, tall windows, and ornate doorways, exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. The square itself is a lush, green oasis, with trees lining its perimeter and a central fountain adding a touch of whimsy. The square's serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of vehicles and the presence of leisurely strollers, who seem to be enjoying the picturesque scene. The engraving also reveals the social and cultural fabric of Georgian London. The presence of a school in the bottom left corner of the image suggests that education was a priority for the residents of Bloomsbury Square. The presence of a coach and horses in the foreground hints at the importance of mobility and the role of the horse-drawn carriage in Georgian society. This coloured aquatint engraving is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Georgian London, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape London today.
