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
1. Title: Bromley Workhouse, Kent: A Symbol of Victorian Charity and Social Control Bromley Workhouse, located in the heart of Kent, England, stands as a poignant reminder of the Victorian era's complex social welfare system. Opened in 1844, this imposing edifice was designed to provide relief to the destitute and the unemployed, while also instilling discipline and deterrence. The Union Workhouse, as it was officially known, was a product of the New Poor Law, which aimed to reduce the burden on ratepayers by providing a centralized, cost-effective system of relief. The architectural design of the workhouse, with its grand frontage and imposing gates, conveyed a sense of authority and control. The image captures the frontage of the workhouse, with its high, arched windows and intricate stonework. The iron gates, adorned with locks and spiked tops, serve as a reminder of the strict regulations that governed the lives of its inmates. The workhouse was a far cry from the comfortable, homelike institutions of today, and was intended to be a last resort for those who had no other means of support. The paupers who entered the workhouse were subjected to a rigorous regime of work, discipline, and separation from their families. They were required to wear distinctive clothing and were provided with only the most basic necessities. The workhouse was intended to be a deterrent to those who might otherwise seek relief from the parish, and to encourage them to seek employment or rely on their families instead. Despite its harsh reputation, the workhouse also represented a safety net for those who had fallen on hard times. It provided a roof over their heads, food on the table, and a measure of security in an uncertain world. The image of Bromley Workhouse serves as a powerful reminder of the complex social and economic realities of the Victorian era, and the enduring legacy of the welfare system that emerged from it.
