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
Fog in the Streets of London, January 1867 This evocative engraving, created in 1867, captures the atmospheric scene of a heavily fogged London street in January. The image, number 12 from the Illustrated London News, depicts a large number of pedestrians making their way through the fog, some carrying torches to light their path. The shadowy carriages in the background add to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The dense fog, which was a common occurrence in London during the winter months, presented numerous challenges for the city's residents. Navigating the streets became a daunting task, and accidents were not uncommon. The use of torches, as seen in this image, was a common practice during such conditions to ensure safety. The historical significance of this image lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in London's past. The engraving provides a glimpse into the daily life of the city during the Victorian era, a time of rapid industrialization and urban growth. The intricate details of the image, from the folds of the pedestrians' coats to the wheels of the carriages, are a testament to the skill of the engraver. The muted colors and subtle shading add to the overall effect of the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints. This image, with its hauntingly beautiful depiction of a foggy London street, is a reminder of the power of art to capture and preserve moments in history. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ways in which our world has changed, while also reminding us of the enduring human experience of navigating the challenges of daily life.
