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.

Women Paint Bridge - A Testament of Strength and Unity during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the talented Harry Shepherd, transports us back to the bustling streets of London on July 14th, 1942. In the midst of a world at war, a group of remarkable women stands proudly in front of a railway bridge on the Southern Railway. Silhouetted against the backdrop of their monumental task, these brave women embody resilience and determination as they reach new heights - both literally and metaphorically. With paintbrushes in hand and perched atop ladders, they fearlessly take on this manual labor traditionally reserved for men. Their presence symbolizes not only their contribution to the war effort but also challenges societal norms by proving that women are more than capable of taking on any occupation. This powerful image captures an extraordinary moment when gender barriers were shattered as these trailblazers painted history onto every inch of that bridge. The medium group of people showcases diversity among these courageous workers who have come together from all walks of life. Their united efforts transcend boundaries as they work towards a common goal - rebuilding their city amidst chaos. Harry Shepherd's archival photography immortalizes this significant chapter in London's home front during World War II. It serves as a poignant reminder that strength knows no gender and unity can overcome even the greatest challenges.
