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 powerful print captures the historical figure John Howard, also known as "Brighty," a renowned prison reformer from the 18th century. In this image, Howard is depicted visiting a prison, with chains prominently featured in the foreground as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions faced by inmates during his time.
John Howard was a pioneering advocate for improving the treatment of prisoners and transforming the penal system. His tireless efforts to bring about change led to significant reforms that continue to impact criminal justice systems around the world today.
The somber yet poignant scene captured in this photograph serves as a visual representation of Howard's dedication to humanitarian causes and his unwavering commitment to social justice. The presence of chains symbolizes both the physical restraints endured by prisoners and the metaphorical barriers that Howard sought to break down through his advocacy work.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of John Howard and his contributions to shaping more humane and equitable societies. This print is not just a historical artifact but a testament to one man's courage and compassion in challenging oppressive systems and striving for positive change.
