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 evocative price list, produced at the Waifs and Strays Society's St Chad's Home in Leeds in 1898, offers a glimpse into the world of a late-Victorian children's home. The Waifs and Strays Society was a leading British charity dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The list, which focuses on socks and stockings, reveals the meticulous attention to detail and care that went into providing essential items for the children in their charge. Prices range from one penny for a pair of cotton socks to six shillings and sixpence for a pair of woolen stockings, reflecting the varying quality and materials used. The Waifs and Strays Society's St Chad's Home was just one of many institutions run by the organization, which aimed to offer a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The home provided education, training, and emotional support, with the ultimate goal of helping children find permanent homes or, if they were able, to reintegrate them into society. This price list serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that charities like the Waifs and Strays Society played in providing essential care and services to vulnerable children during a time when state welfare systems were still in their infancy. The meticulously handwritten list also offers a glimpse into the daily realities of running a charitable institution and the importance of community support in ensuring the wellbeing of children in need.
