1888 Hampstead Health Pond Vale
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 enchanting engraving, titled 'The Vale of Health, Hampstead, April 1888,' offers a glimpse into the picturesque past of North London's beloved village of Hampstead. The image, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), captures the serene beauty of the Vale of Health pond, a popular destination for Londoners seeking respite from the city's hustle and bustle. The Vale of Health was a renowned health resort during the Victorian era, renowned for its clean air and scenic surroundings. The pond, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque cottages, was a favorite spot for leisurely strolls and picnics. The engraving, with its intricate details and meticulous shading, invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a spring day in Hampstead over a century ago. The Vale of Health pond, located in the heart of Hampstead Heath, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. The area was believed to have therapeutic properties, and visitors would come from far and wide to bathe in the pond's waters, which were said to have healing properties. The area's popularity grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the construction of the pond and the development of the surrounding village. This engraving, with its charming depiction of a bygone era, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Hampstead and its history. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the importance of taking time to relax and rejuvenate, much like the visitors to the Vale of Health over a century ago.
