1846 Engraving 1885 Industry School Street Visiting Westminster Lord Shaftesbury

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
In this vintage engraving from 1846, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Westminster in the heart of Victorian England. The image captures a significant moment in history as Lord Shaftesbury pays a visit to the renowned Westminster School of Industry on Old Pye Street. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and excitement as students and teachers gather outside the school building, eagerly awaiting their distinguished guest. The intricate engravement technique used in this print beautifully showcases the architectural details of both the school and surrounding buildings, transporting us into a bygone era. Lord Shaftesbury's presence adds an aura of importance to this snapshot in time, highlighting his dedication to social reform and education for all. As one of Britain's most influential philanthropists during the 19th century, he played a pivotal role in improving working conditions for children and championing educational opportunities. This enchanting engraving not only offers us a glimpse into Victorian culture but also serves as a testament to Lord Shaftesbury's lasting impact on society. It reminds us that even amidst societal challenges, there were individuals who dedicated themselves to creating positive change. As we admire this retro-styled masterpiece from Arkheia's collection, let it serve as a reminder that history has much to teach us about our past struggles and triumphs – lessons that can guide our present-day efforts towards progress and equality.
