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 evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and respite at the Josiah Mason Orphanage in Birmingham during the 1930s. In the recreation room, a group of young girls are seen engaged in various activities, each finding their own way to pass the time and connect with one another. Some girls focus intently on their books, lost in the worlds they create through reading. Others write in journals or letters, perhaps penning words to loved ones or crafting stories of their own. The table tennis table in the foreground serves as a focal point for play and friendly competition, as two girls prepare for a match. The room is filled with a sense of community and camaraderie, as these girls, who have known the challenges of growing up in an orphanage, come together to find moments of happiness and connection. The Josiah Mason Orphanage, founded in 1868, was a leading children's home in Birmingham, providing care and support to hundreds of children over the years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the girls at the orphanage, showcasing the importance of recreation and play in fostering their emotional and social wellbeing.
