1812 Dated Desk Dickens Empty Gadshill Places Wicker
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 poignant photograph captures the quiet solitude of Charles Dickens' study at his home, Gadshill Place, following his untimely death on 9 June 1870. The empty chair, once occupied by the famous author as he penned his literary masterpieces, now sits vacant, a testament to the passage of time and the end of an era. The window, framed by the heavy curtains, lets in a soft, natural light, casting a gentle glow on the worn desk and the scattered remnants of Dickens' writing life. The wicker basket on the floor, filled with papers and books, hints at the countless hours spent crafting stories that continue to captivate readers around the world. The date, 1870, etched into the wooden desk, serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this humble room, where Dickens wrote some of his most beloved works, including "A Tale of Two Cities," "Great Expectations," and "Bleak House." The image transports us back to a time when the written word held a special power, and the creative mind of Charles Dickens brought stories to life, leaving an indelible mark on literature and the world. The emptiness of the chair, while a reminder of the loss of a literary giant, also invites us to reflect on the enduring impact of his work and the inspiration it continues to provide to generations of writers and readers alike.
