1825 Classes Institution Lanark Named Owen Owens Quadrille
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 a moment of joy and camaraderie from the past, as young girls from the Robert Owen's Institution at New Lanark, Scotland, gracefully execute the steps of a Quadrille dance in 1825. The Institution, founded by the social reformer Robert Owen, was a model community dedicated to the welfare of its workers and their families. One of the innovative initiatives introduced by Owen was the establishment of dancing classes for the children, as part of his broader vision to promote physical and mental wellbeing, social interaction, and cultural enrichment. Quadrilles were popular social dances of the time, characterized by their lively, synchronized movements and intricate patterns. The girls, dressed in simple yet elegant attire, appear fully engaged in the dance, their faces reflecting a sense of delight and concentration. The photograph, taken from an original print from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Institution and the educational and recreational activities that shaped the lives of its young residents. The Quadrille dance classes not only provided an enjoyable pastime for the girls but also served as an essential component of their overall development. Dancing helped improve their coordination, agility, and posture, while also fostering social skills and teamwork. The image stands as a testament to the forward-thinking educational philosophy of Robert Owen and the enduring impact of his vision on the lives of the children at New Lanark.
