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 evocative photograph captures a moment of warmth and nourishment at the Hereford Industrial School in 1899. The boys, dressed in their uniforms, proudly stand before a towering pile of freshly baked loaves, which have just been pulled from the oven. The bakery was one of many industries run by the school, providing valuable vocational training and essential skills for the children in its care. The Hereford Industrial School was established in the late 19th century to provide shelter, education, and rehabilitation for orphaned, abandoned, or neglected children. The institution offered a range of services, including agriculture, horticulture, shoemaking, and baking, among others. The boys in this image appear to be engaged in the latter, learning the art of breadmaking under the watchful eye of their instructors. The act of baking, with its rhythmic and tactile nature, likely offered a sense of accomplishment and pride for the boys. The freshly baked loaves not only provided sustenance for the school but also served as a tangible symbol of their hard work and dedication. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Hereford Industrial School, highlighting the importance of care, education, and community during a time when such services were essential for the welfare of vulnerable children. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of education, care, and the simple act of baking bread. It also underscores the enduring value of institutions like the Hereford Industrial School, which continue to provide essential services and opportunities for children in need today.
