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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Flower Girls of London's Angel, Islington, in the early 1900s. The scene unfolds on a bustling North London street, where the vibrant colors and fragrant blooms of the flowers for sale contrast sharply with the drab, grey buildings and clothing of the time. The Flower Girls, dressed in traditional aprons and bonnets, are seen arranging their wares on the pavement, engaging with customers and bartering deals. Their lively banter and friendly demeanor draw in passersby, creating a sense of community and connection. The Flower Trade in London had a long and rich history by this time, with the first recorded flower market dating back to the 17th century. The Angel area, in particular, was known for its thriving flower market, which attracted sellers from all over the city. The Flower Girls played a crucial role in this trade, selling flowers directly to the public and providing a vital link between the growers and consumers. Despite the hardships and challenges of life in the city, the Flower Girls managed to bring a touch of beauty and joy to the streets of London. Their trade not only provided a livelihood but also brought a sense of color and vitality to the urban landscape. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the simple act of selling flowers could bring people together and brighten even the greyest of days.
