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 photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the grandeur and imposing presence of the Austin State Hospital in Austin, Texas, USA. Established in 1852, this institution is the oldest psychiatric hospital in the Lone Star State. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of mental health care in America during the early 1900s. The architectural design of the hospital is a testament to the neoclassical style popular during that era. The building's pediment, adorned with intricate carvings, sits atop columns and pillars, creating an aura of grandeur and stability. The classical design extends to the balcony, which overlooks lush grass and trees, adding to the serene atmosphere. The central fountain, surrounded by greenery, adds a touch of tranquility to the scene. The large dome, with its intricate details, stands proudly atop the building, symbolizing the hospital's commitment to providing comprehensive care for its patients. The Austin State Hospital was a beacon of hope and healing during a time when mental health care was often misunderstood and stigmatized. The hospital's commitment to providing quality care for those in need is evident in the grand design of its buildings, which were intended to create a calming and therapeutic environment for patients. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of mental health care and the progress that has been made in the field over the past century. It also serves as a tribute to the historic architecture of Austin, Texas, and the rich history of mental health care in America.
