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.

Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys, Millerston, Glasgow (1908): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys in Millerston, Glasgow, as it appeared in 1908. The view showcases the imposing red-brick building, its grandeur and austere appearance a testament to the institutional ethos of the time. The name 'Industrial School' reflects the educational philosophy of the era, which emphasized the importance of practical skills and discipline in shaping the lives of young boys. The image reveals a panoramic view of the school's grounds, with the lush, green mossy bank providing a striking contrast to the industrial setting. The boys, dressed in uniform, can be seen engaged in various activities, including woodworking and metalworking, as they learn valuable skills that would serve them well in their future endeavors. The presence of the boys, along with the smoke rising from the chimneys, underscores the dual role of the Industrial School – a place of education and reformation. The Moss Bank Industrial School, which opened in 1861, was one of many institutions established during the Victorian era to address the social issues of the time. It provided shelter, education, and training for boys who were orphaned, neglected, or in need of discipline. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of these institutions and the impact they had on the lives of countless young boys. This image, taken in 1908, offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to reflect on the transformative power of education and the resilience of the human spirit.
