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 pivotal moment from Charles Dickens' classic novel, Oliver Twist, published in 1837. The scene depicts Oliver, the young orphan, peering through a window as he witnesses a burglary in progress. The historical context of this moment is significant, as Dickens' novel was a groundbreaking work that brought attention to the plight of the urban poor and the harsh realities of Victorian England. In this image, Oliver's expression is one of fear and fascination, as he watches the burglars, Jack Dawkins, also known as the Artful Dodger, and his accomplice, Fagin, at work. The dimly lit room, filled with shadows and the glint of stolen goods, creates an atmosphere of danger and intrigue. The burglars, oblivious to Oliver's presence, are focused on their ill-gotten gains, adding to the tension of the scene. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Dickens' literature and the social issues that inspired his writing. The image is a reminder of the impact that fiction can have on our understanding of history and the world around us. The details of the scene, from the worn wooden window frame to the intricate patterns on the burglars' clothing, bring the story to life and transport us back in time. The publication of Oliver Twist in 1837 was a turning point in Dickens' career, and this image captures the essence of the novel's themes of crime, poverty, and morality. It is a testament to the enduring power of Dickens' storytelling and the importance of preserving historical images for future generations.
