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 a moment in time at St. Joseph's Catholic Boys Home in Enfield, Middlesex, circa 1900. The image presents a scene of daily life at the home, with a group of young boys seated on the floor, engrossed in an educational activity, while a nun stands at the front, overseeing the lesson. The boys, dressed in simple uniforms, appear focused and attentive, while the nun, with her traditional habit and rosary beads, exudes a sense of authority and nurturing care. St. Joseph's Catholic Boys Home was established in Enfield, Middlesex, in the late 19th century to provide care and education for orphaned, abandoned, or disadvantaged boys. The home was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, who dedicated their lives to the service of God and the care of the most vulnerable members of society. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the lives of the children who lived at St. Joseph's and the dedicated sisters who cared for them. It also highlights the important role that children's homes played in providing care and support to those in need, and the crucial role that religious institutions played in shaping the social fabric of communities. The image is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of St. Joseph's Catholic Boys Home in Enfield, Middlesex, which continued to provide care and support to children for many decades. Today, the site is no longer a home for children, but the memory of the boys and sisters who once lived there remains, making this photograph a valuable historical record.
