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
Ruskin Hall, Oxford: A Beacon of Opportunity for Adults Seeking Education in 1899 This photograph, published in The Sketch magazine in 1899, showcases Ruskin Hall in Oxford, an educational institution that was then known as Ruskin Hall and would later become Ruskin College. Named after the renowned essayist and social critic John Ruskin, this independent institution was established to provide educational opportunities for adults with few or no qualifications. Located on St. Giles Street, the heart of Oxford, Ruskin Hall opened its doors six months prior to this image being taken. The building, with its impressive red-brick facade and grand architecture, exudes a sense of warmth and welcome, inviting students from all walks of life to come and learn. The photograph captures the essence of Ruskin Hall as a place of hope and opportunity for those who may have been overlooked by traditional educational institutions. The institution's mission was to provide accessible and affordable education to adults, regardless of their background or circumstances. John Ruskin, a champion of social justice and equality, would have been proud to see his name associated with such an endeavor. His belief that education was a fundamental right for all, not just the privileged few, resonated deeply with the founders of Ruskin Hall. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of education and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and communities. Ruskin Hall continues to uphold this legacy today, providing educational opportunities to disadvantaged adults and empowering them to change their lives for the better.
