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
This print from the Sheffield Flood of 1864 showcases the haunting remains of the Shuttle House, once owned by James Sharman, head of Bacon Island. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the devastating aftermath of this historic flood. In the background, we catch a glimpse of another house known as The Grove. Its presence adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding these ruins. Chimneys and other architectural features stand tall amidst the wreckage, testaments to a thriving industrial era abruptly halted by nature's fury. The significance of Bacon Island becomes apparent as we learn that it was formed when the River Don divided into two branches. Mr. James Sharman's residence on this island earned its name - The Shuttle House - due to his responsibility for operating a shuttle that supplied water to nearby mills and factories downstream. Interestingly, we also notice William and Samuel Butcher's Steel Tilters and Rollers from Philadelphia Steel Works in the distant background. Their presence serves as a reminder that even across continents, industries were interconnected during this tumultuous period. As we delve into this historical photograph preserved by Sheffield City Archives, our minds are transported back to 1864 when rivers overflowed their banks and floods ravaged communities like Neepsend. This image stands as a testament to resilience in face of adversity while reminding us never to underestimate nature's power over human endeavors.
