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.

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
1. Title: St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, Rackham Street, London (1881) This evocative photograph captures the St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, situated on Rackham Street in London, as it appeared in 1881. Designed by the renowned architect Henry Saxon Snell, this imposing building was a vital part of the English social welfare system during the Victorian era. The St Marylebone Workhouse, established in 1732, was one of the many institutions designed to provide shelter, food, and care for the city's destitute and impoverished population. The infirmary, an extension of the workhouse, was specifically dedicated to the care of the sick and infirm residents. The photograph reveals the grandeur and scale of the infirmary, with its symmetrical layout, tall arched windows, and intricate architectural details. The building's design reflects the Victorian era's belief in the importance of order, cleanliness, and discipline in the care of the poor. Henry Saxon Snell, a prolific architect known for his work on schools, hospitals, and public buildings, expertly blended functionality and aesthetics in the design of the St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary. The result is a striking and imposing structure that stands as a testament to the era's commitment to providing for the needs of the city's most vulnerable population. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the history of social welfare and the architectural legacy of the Victorian era. The St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, with its intricate details and grandeur, remains a fascinating and important piece of London's history.
