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
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, three uniformed prison officers stand solemnly in front of Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset, England. Established in 1625 as a House of Correction, this historic edifice has borne witness to the passage of time and the evolving nature of punishment and rehabilitation in England. The officers, dressed in their formal attire, exude an air of authority and discipline. Their stern expressions and posture convey the seriousness of their duties, as they stand behind the ornate railings that mark the boundary between the outside world and the confines of the prison. The prison, with its imposing stone walls and tall chimneys, looms in the background, a reminder of the institution's long and storied history. Shepton Mallet Prison, also known as Shepton Mallet Gaol, has undergone numerous transformations since its inception. Originally designed to house and reform offenders through hard labor, it later served as a military prison during World War I and II, and eventually became a young offenders' institution. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the prison's history, and the unwavering commitment of its officers to uphold the law and maintain order. The year is 1906, and the Edwardian era is drawing to a close. The world is on the cusp of significant change, but the prison, like the officers standing before it, remains a constant presence, a symbol of justice and the rule of law in the face of crime and disorder. The photograph, a testament to the rich history of Shepton Mallet Prison, invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ongoing role of institutions like this in our society.
