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 woodcut engraving, titled 'The Tiwer of London: the Armory, the Horse Armory and Wild Beasts in the Tower,' offers a glimpse into the rich history and diverse attractions of London during the early 19th century. The image, based on an illustration by Isaac Taylor from Ann and Jane Taylor's 'City Scenes, or a Peep into London,' published by Harvey and Darton in 1828, showcases several iconic landmarks and activities within the historic Tower of London. At the heart of the scene, Beefeaters, or Yeomen Warders, can be seen engaging with tourists, showcasing weapons from the Spanish Armada in the Armory. The Horse Armory, located within the Tower, is depicted with 13 suits of armor mounted on horses in barding, a traditional form of armor for horses used in medieval warfare. Beyond the Armory, the White Tower's zoo is home to lions and tigers in cages, a popular attraction for visitors. The Tower of London, a symbol of the monarchy and English history, is adorned with the Crown, Orb, and Sceptre, representing the power and authority of the monarch. Surrounding the Tower, various trades are in full swing, with Jewish traders selling their wares at the bustling market. The construction of a battleship in the dry dock at Deptford and the man working in the war-related office are evidence of London's significant role in England's military and maritime history. The engraving also highlights the picturesque Rosemary Lane and the vibrant Rag Fair, adding to the rich tapestry of London's diverse culture and urban landscape. This image provides an educational and engaging view of London during the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into its history, trades, and attractions.
