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
In this image from the 1910s, a little girl reaches out to touch the rough texture of a pavement artist's canvas, her curious eyes fixed on the intricate details of his masterpiece. The artist, dressed in a worn apron and a smart hat, looks up from his work with a warm smile, acknowledging the interest of his young admirer. In his cap, a few pennies glint in the sunlight, a testament to the generosity of passersby who have been moved by his art. The scene unfolds on the bustling streets of London, where the vibrant energy of town life intertwines with moments of simple human connection. The artist, with his canvasses spread out on the pavement, is a familiar sight in this part of the city. He is a man of humble means, yet rich in talent and the ability to evoke emotion through his art. The little girl, dressed in a neatly pressed dress and matching shoes, is a stark contrast to the artist in terms of wealth and social status. Yet, in this moment, the barriers of class and age dissolve as she reaches into her pocket and places a penny in the artist's cap, making a small yet significant donation to his livelihood. Her mother, standing nearby, watches with a proud smile, knowing that her child's innocent gesture embodies the spirit of charity and kindness that is woven into the fabric of London life. This poignant image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life and the power of art to bring people together still held sway. It is a reminder that, no matter the circumstances, the human spirit remains a beacon of hope and connection in even the most ordinary moments.
