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
Manchester Union Schools at Swinton: A Victorian Haven for Pauper Children in the Heart of Industrial Manchester This evocative photograph captures the Manchester Union Schools at Swinton, an extraordinary institution established in 1843 to house and educate over 800 pauper children away from the harsh conditions of the workhouse. One of the earliest of its kind, the Manchester Union Schools were a pioneering response to the growing issue of poverty and homelessness in Victorian and Edwardian Manchester. The grand entrance of the school, with its ornate stonework and tall, arched windows, stands as a testament to the commitment of those who sought to provide a better future for these children. Inside, they were offered a semblance of home and the opportunity for an education that would equip them with the skills necessary to break the cycle of poverty. The Manchester Union Schools were the subject of Charles Dickens' article, "A Day in a Pauper Palace," which provided a vivid account of life within the institution's walls. Dickens' piece highlighted the stark contrast between the deplorable conditions of the workhouse and the relative comfort and care offered at the Manchester Union Schools. The photograph, taken in 1904, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural beauty and historical significance of this once-pioneering institution. The Manchester Union Schools at Swinton serve as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the most vulnerable members of society during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and the efforts made to address the issue of poverty and homelessness.
