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 powerful print captures the poignant scene of British emigrants embarking on their journey to America in 1870. The image, originally featured in "The Graphic" newspaper in London, showcases the harsh reality faced by these steerage passengers as they leave behind their homeland for a new life across the Atlantic. In this wood engraving, we see a group of individuals huddled together on a crowded ship. The darkness of the setting reflects the somber mood that permeates throughout. Amongst them is a tired-looking mother, her worn-out expression mirroring both physical and emotional exhaustion. Her three-quarter-length figure stands out amidst the sea of people, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst adversity. The illustration highlights social issues such as poverty and transportation challenges faced by those seeking better opportunities abroad. It serves as a stark reminder of historical events that shaped England's emigration history during this period. The vertical composition adds depth to the image while emphasizing its human representation aspect. Although there are no specific individuals depicted here, it evokes empathy towards countless families who embarked on similar journeys during that time. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in our collective past - one marked by sacrifice, determination, and dreams for a brighter future beyond borders.
