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
St. Giles, Cripplegate, London (circa 1865) is a beautiful pencil drawing by the renowned Irish artist, James Moore. This image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London, specifically to the area of St. Giles, Cripplegate. St. Giles was one of the oldest and poorest parishes in London, known for its crowded and unsanitary living conditions. The area was notorious for its high crime rates and was home to many impoverished families. In this drawing, we see a bustling scene of everyday life, with people going about their business and children playing in the streets. The drawing captures the unique character of St. Giles, with its narrow, winding streets, old houses, and the distinctive St. Giles-without-Cripplegate Church in the background. The church, with its tall spire and intricate details, stands out against the backdrop of the crowded and chaotic scene. James Moore's skillful use of pencil and paper brings the image to life, with intricate details and shading that add depth and texture to the scene. The drawing is a testament to Moore's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. This drawing is a valuable historical record of life in London during the 19th century and a beautiful work of art in its own right. It invites us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating area of the city and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of urban life in the past.
