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 photograph captures a moment of daily life at the Anerley Residential School for Older Deaf Boys in London during the early 1900s. The image, taken in one of the cottage homes, shows a group of young deaf boys sitting around a long table, engaged in the simple yet essential activity of having their dinner. The boys, dressed in their best clothes, appear focused and content as they eat, their expressions conveying a sense of community and companionship. The London School Boards, a charitable organization dedicated to providing education and care for children with disabilities, established the Anerley Residential School in 1885 to cater to the needs of older deaf boys who had completed their primary education. The cottage homes, which housed small groups of students, provided a more familial and nurturing environment than the larger institutional settings of the time. Despite the challenges of communicating with their deaf students, the dedicated staff at the Anerley School went to great lengths to ensure their physical, emotional, and educational needs were met. Meals were an important part of the daily routine, and the communal dining experience fostered a sense of belonging and socialization. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role that residential schools and care homes played in providing essential care and support for children with disabilities, and the importance of creating inclusive and welcoming environments for all.
