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: "A Glance Back at History: The Old Portico of the Society of Arts in Birmingham, 1910s The Old Portico of the Society of Arts, located on New Street in Birmingham, is a captivating reminder of the city's rich historical past. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the grandeur and elegance of this architectural masterpiece before its unfortunate demise. The Society of Arts, established in 1774, was a learned society dedicated to the advancement of the arts, sciences, and manufacturing industries. The Society's headquarters in Birmingham was a significant cultural hub, attracting scholars, artists, and innovators from across the region. The Old Portico, with its impressive Corinthian columns and intricate stonework, served as the entrance to the Society's building and was a testament to the organization's commitment to excellence. Despite its historical significance, the Old Portico of the Society of Arts fell victim to the increasing financial pressures of the early 20th century. The building was eventually demolished, leaving behind only memories and this photograph as evidence of its former glory. This image, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into Birmingham's past, a time when the city was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution and the arts and sciences flourished. The Old Portico of the Society of Arts stands as a symbol of the city's proud heritage and its enduring commitment to creativity and innovation. Royal Warwickshire, a term often associated with the county of Warwickshire and its connection to the British monarchy, adds an extra layer of historical significance to this photograph. The Society of Arts, with its royal patronage, played a vital role in the cultural and intellectual life of the region, making this image a valuable piece of local and national history.
