17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of children residing at Spurgeons Orphanage in Stockwell, Brixton, Lambeth, London. Taken in 1884 by the talented photographer H Bedford Lemere, this elevated exterior view showcases a heartwarming scene outside the orphanage's walls. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of children gathered together on what appears to be a sunny day. Their youthful faces radiate innocence and curiosity as they engage with one another amidst their shared circumstances. The building itself stands tall and imposing behind them; its Victorian architecture exudes an air of stability and protection for these young souls seeking solace within its walls. Bedford Lemere's expert composition captures not only the physical surroundings but also manages to convey emotions that transcend time. We can almost hear their laughter and feel their camaraderie through his lens. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who found themselves without families during this era. Preserved by Historic England, this image allows us to reflect upon our collective history while honoring the experiences of those who came before us. It is through such visual records that we gain insight into society's progress over time while appreciating how institutions like Spurgeons Orphanage played an essential role in providing care for vulnerable children during challenging times.
