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 captures a pivotal moment in history - the founding of the Bank of England in 1694. Proposed by William Paterson, this institution was formed with Sir John Houblon as its first Governor. The Bank of England initially found its home in Mercers Hall before moving to Grocers Hall until 1734.
The image exudes a sense of historical significance, showcasing the birthplace of one of the most influential financial institutions in the world. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when commerce and trade were flourishing, and the need for a central bank became increasingly apparent.
Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have surrounded the establishment of such an important entity. The faces of those involved - William Paterson, Sir John Houblon, and others - seem to come alive before our eyes, reminding us of their crucial roles in shaping our modern banking system.
Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured a piece of history with this remarkable print. It serves as a reminder not only of where we came from but also how far we have come since that fateful day in 1694 when the Bank of England was founded.
