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 print from The Advertising Archives takes us back to the vibrant era of 1920s America. In this image, we are transported to a Texaco gas station in the heartland of the United States. The vintage charm is palpable as we witness a group of baseball enthusiasts engrossed in an intense game, their eyes fixed on every pitch and swing. The Texaco branding prominently displayed on the gas pumps reminds us of the company's deep-rooted connection with American culture during this time. As automobiles became more prevalent, Texaco played a crucial role in fueling not only vehicles but also the spirit of adventure that defined this transformative period. The sepia tones evoke nostalgia for an era when advertising was simple yet effective. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to how advertisements shaped popular culture during the early twentieth century. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that it represents much more than just an advertisement; it encapsulates an entire epoch. It transports us back to a time when baseball reigned supreme and gasoline stations were gathering spots where communities converged. In essence, this remarkable print by The Advertising Archives offers us a glimpse into history—an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind vintage advertisements and their profound impact on shaping society's collective memory.
