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 evocative image captures the interior of a cotton factory in Lancashire during the year 1835, showcasing the process of mule spinning. The mule, a type of spinning machine that combined the functions of spinning and weaving into one, revolutionized the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. The complex machinery is in full operation, with the large, intricately designed wheels and gears turning smoothly. Amidst the hum of the machinery, a young child is seen sweeping inside the moving machine, ensuring the smooth operation of the machinery and maintaining a clean working environment. The child's small size and delicate frame contrast sharply with the massive, powerful machines that surround him, highlighting the harsh realities of child labor during the Industrial Revolution. Despite the advancements in technology, the working conditions within the factories were often harsh and unforgiving. Long hours, low wages, and dangerous working conditions were common, and children as young as five or six years old were often employed to work in the factories. The use of child labor was a controversial issue during this time, with some arguing that it provided much-needed income for families, while others decried the exploitation of children. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the human cost of the Industrial Revolution and the role that child labor played in the growth of the textile industry. The image is a powerful reminder of the complex relationship between innovation, progress, and the human experience.
