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 aerial photograph, the imposing structure of Park Hospital in Davyhulme, Manchester stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush green landscape. Originally built in 1929 as the workhouse hospital for the Barton Upon Irwell Poor Law Union, this institution was a stark reminder of the social and economic realities of the time. The workhouse system, a product of the Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601, was designed to provide relief for the destitute and able-bodied poor in exchange for hard labor. The workhouse hospitals, like Park Hospital, were intended to be places of last resort, where those who could not support themselves were forced to live and work in harsh conditions. However, the image of Park Hospital captured in this photograph belies its past. The red-brick buildings, arranged in a symmetrical pattern, exude a sense of order and discipline, while the expansive grounds offer a glimpse of the tranquility that must have been a welcome respite for the patients. The arrival of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948 brought about a significant transformation in the role and function of Park Hospital. Aneurin Bevan, the architect of the NHS, inaugurated the service here, marking the end of the workhouse era and the beginning of a new chapter in healthcare provision. Over the years, the hospital underwent several name changes, eventually becoming Trafford General Hospital in 1996. Today, it continues to serve the community as a modern healthcare facility, offering a wide range of services to the residents of Manchester and beyond. This photograph, taken circa 1933, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the evolution of healthcare provision and the indomitable human spirit that has shaped it.
