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 photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts four young inmates of Wigmore Schools, located on Pennyhill Lane in the West Midlands, during the early 20th century. The image features two boys in band uniforms, each holding a trumpet or cornet, and two girls dressed in smocks and straw hats, as they sit and stand, posing for the camera. The Walsall and West Bromwich District School, also known as Wigmore Schools, was established in 1870 to accommodate workhouse children from the two unions in the area. The boys' band uniforms suggest that they may have received musical education as part of their schooling. The girls, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian-era costumes, hold dolls, possibly as part of their domestic training. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these young inmates, providing a historical record of their experiences in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image is reminiscent of the 1870s and 1880s, a time when children from poor backgrounds were often institutionalized and received little formal education. The photograph is a testament to the importance of education and music in the lives of these young people, despite their challenging circumstances. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is protected by copyright.
