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
Baby Incubators - Crystal Palace: A Glimpse into Early Neonatal Care (circa 1908) This evocative photograph captures the Child Life Section of a hospital ward, showcasing the innovative use of baby incubators in the early 20th century. The Crystal Palace, a name given to this particular ward, is filled with the soft glow of gas lamps, casting gentle light over the fragile newborns cradled within the incubators. In the foreground, a dedicated nurse checks on a baby through the glass walls of an incubator, her expression a mix of concern and hope. The incubator, a marvel of early medical technology, is equipped with a playpen and various machines to monitor and regulate the baby's temperature, oxygen levels, and feeding. The use of baby incubators marked a significant advancement in neonatal care during this era, providing a controlled environment for premature or sick infants to grow and thrive. Prior to this, high infant mortality rates were common due to the lack of effective means to support the most vulnerable newborns. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of maternity care, where the art of midwifery and the emerging field of medicine intersected to save lives and give hope to families. The Crystal Palace stands as a testament to the ingenuity and compassion of those who dedicated their lives to the care of newborns, paving the way for the advancements we see in neonatal care today.
