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 haunting print captures the imposing frontage of the Union Workhouse in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire. Built in 1836 at the junction of London Road and North Crawley Road, this building served as a place of last resort for those living in poverty during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The high metal railings surrounding the workhouse symbolize the strict regulations and harsh conditions that awaited its residents.
Originally designed to provide housing and care for paupers under poor laws legislation, this workhouse later transformed into Renny Lodge Hospital, reflecting changing attitudes towards healthcare and social welfare. The architecture of the building is a stark reminder of a bygone era when legal status determined access to medical treatment and basic necessities.
The history contained within these walls speaks volumes about society's approach to caring for its most vulnerable members. As we gaze upon this image from 1910, we are transported back to a time when workhouses were synonymous with hardship and destitution. The legacy of institutions like the Newport Pagnell Union Workhouse continues to shape our understanding of health care, poverty alleviation, and social justice today.
