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 photograph captures the West Derby Union Nurses Home at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, as it appeared in 1925. The West Derby Union, a local authority responsible for social welfare in Liverpool, opened the hospital in 1915. Initially designed for the care of chronic and bed-ridden cases, the home later transformed into a children's hospital, providing essential medical services to the community. During the two World Wars, the hospital also served as a military facility, offering care and support to wounded soldiers. The image showcases the grandeur and dignity of the building, with its imposing facade and meticulously manicured gardens. The nurses, dressed in their crisp uniforms, can be seen tending to their patients with compassion and dedication. The West Derby Union Nurses Home at Alder Hey Hospital played a significant role in the history of Liverpool and its healthcare system. Its transformation from a home for the chronically ill to a children's hospital and military hospital during times of war demonstrates the adaptability and resilience of the institution. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that healthcare workers and institutions have played in caring for the sick and injured throughout history.
