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 print captures a glimpse into the past at Wandsworth Prison, originally known as the Surrey House of Correction when it was built in 1851. The image showcases inmates engaged in the act of writing letters, offering a poignant reminder of the human stories that unfolded within its walls.
The historical significance of this scene is palpable, as we are transported back to a time when communication was limited and precious for those incarcerated. The act of writing letters would have been a lifeline for many inmates, providing a connection to loved ones outside the prison walls.
As we reflect on this snapshot from 1900s Britain, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those who found themselves behind bars during this era. Wandsworth Prison served as a place where punishment and rehabilitation intersected, shaping the lives of countless individuals who passed through its gates.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are invited to contemplate not only the physical structure of Wandsworth Prison but also the emotional and psychological impact it had on those within. It serves as a powerful testament to our shared history and offers an opportunity for reflection on how far we have come in our approach to justice and incarceration.
