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 photograph captures the harsh realities of life in a Stockport slum communal yard during the 1970s. The Rag and Bone man, a common sight in many working-class neighborhoods during this era, pushes his barrow through the unpaved, condemned housing estate at Brinksway Garrett in Stockport, Cheshire, England. The children, dressed in clothes that look worn and ill-fitting, watch him curiously as he navigates the uneven terrain, dotted with washing hanging out to dry and dustbins overflowing with debris. The houses in the background appear dilapidated and in disrepair, their windows small and barred, reflecting the poverty and deprivation that characterized the lives of many residents. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the impoverished and needy conditions that existed in some areas of Stockport during this time. The photograph, taken circa 1970, was taken just before the demolition of these houses, making it an important historical record of a bygone era.
