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 captures a moment in history when Robert Owen, a visionary thinker and social reformer, sought to create an ideal working community at New Lanark, near Glasgow, Scotland. In this image, we see schoolgirls joyfully dancing a quadrille as part of the carefully planned activities designed to foster unity and harmony among residents.
Owen's revolutionary ideas about town planning and community living were ahead of his time. He believed that by providing education, healthcare, and recreational opportunities for all members of society, he could create a utopian environment where everyone could thrive. The children in this picture are not only learning traditional dance steps but also valuable lessons about cooperation and mutual respect.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into the early 19th century when class divisions were stark and living conditions for many were deplorable. Through Owen's efforts at New Lanark, we see the potential for positive change through thoughtful urban design and social policies.
As we reflect on this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, let us remember the importance of community building and inclusive planning in creating a better future for all.
