23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Caption: "Sheffield City Libraries: Your Help is Needed - A Glimpse into the Past". Step back in time to circa 1930 with this intriguing print from Sheffield City Archives. Captured within the walls of Sheffield City Libraries, this image sheds light on a peculiar issue faced by librarians and readers alike during that era. Titled "Your help is needed - a few readers are stealing books and periodicals" this photograph offers a glimpse into an unfortunate chapter of Sheffield's library history. The image serves as a reminder that even in places dedicated to knowledge and learning, there were individuals who sought to take advantage. The black-and-white snapshot showcases rows upon rows of bookshelves, meticulously organized with literary treasures waiting to be discovered. Yet, amidst this haven for bibliophiles, a notice board stands prominently displaying an urgent plea for assistance. Librarians sought the cooperation of visitors to prevent thefts that had been occurring sporadically. This rare archival piece not only highlights the challenges faced by libraries in maintaining their collections but also provides valuable insight into societal norms and behaviors at the time. It invites us to reflect on how public spaces have evolved over decades while reminding us that preserving shared resources requires collective responsibility. As we admire this historical artifact from Sheffield's past, let it serve as a testament to the enduring importance of libraries as community hubs fostering education, enlightenment, and respect for one another's intellectual property.
