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 photograph captures the exterior of the New Workhouse, situated in Upper Holloway, London, in the year 1870. The workhouse, commissioned by the parish of St. Mary, Islington, was intended to provide shelter and relief for the destitute and the poor in accordance with the English Poor Law. Spanning approximately seven acres and three quarters of land, the grand edifice was a testament to the architectural prowess of the 19th century. The New Workhouse, a symbol of Victorian-era social welfare, was designed to house, feed, and provide employment to the needy, with the ultimate goal of promoting self-sufficiency and independence. The image reveals the imposing structure, with its symmetrical design, red brick facade, and tall, arched windows. The building's intricate details, such as the decorative cornices and the ornate chimneys, speak to the meticulous planning and execution of the architects of the time. The New Workhouse in Upper Holloway was a significant addition to the urban landscape of West London, reflecting the societal values and architectural trends of the 1870s. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the history of social welfare and the architectural legacy of the Victorian era.
