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 haunting image captures the chilling tale of the Hammersmith Ghost, a mysterious figure in white that terrorized the populace in 1804. The ghostly apparition led to a tragic case of mistaken identity, as vigilantes lay in wait and shot dead Thomas Milwood, a humble bricklayer whose dusty clothing was enough to convince them he was the specter they sought.
The historical significance of this event is palpable in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The fear and paranoia that gripped Hammersmith during this time is evident in the stark contrast between the innocent victim and the ethereal figure that sparked such panic.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how easily superstition and hysteria can lead to tragedy. The error made by those who took justice into their own hands serves as a cautionary tale about jumping to conclusions based on appearances alone.
Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this piece of paranormal history for us to reflect upon, allowing us to delve into a dark chapter from our past. Let it serve as a reminder that sometimes what terrifies us most is not always what it seems.
