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 image captures the exterior of the new asylum for girls under the age of twelve, situated in the picturesque village of Beddington near Croydon, Surrey, in the year 1866. The asylum, which was established with the intention of providing care and education to young female orphans, was a sanctuary where these vulnerable children could learn essential skills that would prepare them for a promising future as good housewives and useful members of society. The girls residing in the asylum were taught a range of practical skills, including reading, knitting, and sewing. These abilities were not only considered essential for a woman in the 1860s but also served as a means to ensure their self-sufficiency and independence. In addition to these skills, the girls were also given the opportunity to work in the kitchen, where they could learn the art of cooking and food preparation. The exterior of the asylum exudes a sense of tranquility and order, with its well-maintained gardens and neatly arranged buildings. The girls, who are likely to be seen playing outside or engaged in their daily activities, are a testament to the nurturing and supportive environment that the asylum provided. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the lives of young orphaned girls during the Victorian era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of education and care in shaping the lives of children, particularly those who are most in need of support and guidance.
