23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts a group of girls from Muller's New Orphan Houses in Bristol enjoying an outing at Purdown. The girls are seen playing on tree-hung swings, their laughter and joy echoing through the lush greenery. Muller's New Orphan Houses were established in the 1850s as a response to the growing number of orphans and destitute children in the city. The institution provided shelter, care, education, and social welfare to these children, offering them a chance at a better future. The outing to Purdown was likely an essential part of the children's routine, providing them with much-needed recreation and fresh air. The tree swings, suspended from the sturdy branches of a large tree, offer a sense of freedom and fun. The girls' simple yet beautiful dresses and their beaming smiles add to the charm of the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history of children's welfare in Bristol and the importance of providing care and support to those in need. It also highlights the joy and innocence of childhood, even in the face of adversity. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the progress made in children's care and education, while also reminding us of the ongoing need to ensure that all children have access to a safe and nurturing environment.
