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.

Two Laughing Young Cockney Scamps
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting photograph capturing the playful spirit of two young East End boys from the 1890s. Dressed in typical Cockney attire, the boys, Phil and Coster, exude an infectious energy and mischief that transcends time. With their wide grins and roguish expressions, they embody the carefree nature of childhood in the heart of London's bustling East End. The boys' clothing reflects their background as costermongers, a common trade in the area. Costermongers were itinerant street vendors who sold fruits, vegetables, and other goods from their barrows. The boys' outfits include flat caps, collared shirts, and waistcoats, which were common among working-class boys of the time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the East End, a part of London known for its unique character and vibrant community. The area was home to a diverse population, with a rich mix of working-class tradespeople, immigrants, and artists. The boys' laughter and carefree attitude serve as a reminder of the resilience and joy that has long defined the East End and its people. As you gaze at this charming photograph, you can almost hear the boys' giggles and feel the warmth of the sun on your face. It's a moment frozen in time, a reminder of the enduring spirit of London and its people. This image is not only a historical document but also a testament to the human capacity for joy and laughter, no matter the circumstances.
