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
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on the legendary figure of Thomas Crane, also known as the Muffin Man, as he goes about his daily trade on the bustling streets of Victorian London in 1883. In this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, Crane is seen balanced precariously on the cobblestones, a tray of freshly baked muffins and crumpets perched atop his head. With a handbell in one hand and a warm smile on his face, he rings the bell to attract the attention of passersby, inviting them to sample his delicious wares. The lighting in this historical image casts a warm, inviting glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of Crane's traditional attire and the mouth-watering muffins. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the street trade in Victorian England. Thomas Crane's unique method of carrying his muffins and crumpets on his head was not only a clever marketing strategy but also a practical solution for a street vendor trying to navigate the crowded streets of London. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of street traders during this era, as well as the enduring appeal of freshly baked goods. As we admire this snapshot of history, we are reminded of the simple pleasures of life and the importance of tradition. Thomas Crane's legacy continues to inspire us today, as we continue to seek out the warmth and comfort of freshly baked muffins and the joy of discovering hidden gems in the annals of history.
