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 the grim reality of life in Feathers Court, Drury Lane, one of London's notorious Victorian slum areas, circa 1902. The image shows a group of children huddled around old tea chests, their curious expressions betraying a sense of wonder and anticipation. A cart piled high with more tea chests sits nearby, suggesting that these containers may have been repurposed as makeshift homes or storage units for the residents of this impoverished community. Feathers Court was known for its squalid living conditions, with overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate heating being common issues. The area was notorious for its high rates of disease, crime, and poverty, and many of its residents were orphans or children left to fend for themselves on the streets. Despite the harsh realities of life in Feathers Court, there were efforts being made to improve the situation for its residents. Social welfare services, such as orphanages and charities, were beginning to emerge in London during this time, offering some hope to the most vulnerable members of society. However, these services were often underfunded and struggled to meet the immense demand. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the living conditions endured by many Londoners during the Victorian era and the importance of social services in providing care and support to those in need.
