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 photograph depicts a ward filled with incubators designed by Paul Altmann and distributed by Messrs Coney and Schenkhein in the late 19th century. The incubators were a groundbreaking innovation in medical technology, designed to keep premature or sick infants alive. The automatic machines maintained a consistent temperature, thanks to a thermostat, ensuring the fragile newborns received the optimal environment for growth. The incubators pictured are adorned with chimneys, acting as an essential outlet for impure air. The top chimneys were positioned to allow for the release of stale air and the intake of fresh air, enhancing the overall health and wellbeing of the infants. The design was a significant improvement from earlier incubators, which relied on manual temperature control and lacked proper ventilation. The scene captures dedicated nurses attending to the infants, their focused expressions and gentle touches reflecting the importance of human connection and care in the healing process. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the advancements it represents in neonatal care and the lives it saved. The image is a poignant reminder of the progress made in medical technology and the compassionate care provided by healthcare professionals. This photograph, taken in 1897, is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of Paul Altmann and the vision of Messrs Coney and Schenkhein in bringing this life-saving technology to the world. The impact of their design on the medical field and the countless lives it touched continues to resonate, making this an essential piece of medical history.
