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 June 1918 captures the bustling city traffic outside the Bank of England in London. The streets are filled with buses, lorries, and pedestrians going about their daily business during World War I. A prominent sign on the Royal Exchange reads "Let London Lead, Buy Your National War Bonds Now," showcasing the propaganda efforts to support the war effort.
The image is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in history when patriotism and financial support were crucial for the home front in Europe. The city street is lined with lampposts and vehicles bearing brand names that are now part of archival history. The atmosphere is charged with political significance as London navigates through challenging times.
V. M. Palmer's skillful composition captures not just a scene of urban chaos but also conveys a sense of unity and determination among citizens facing adversity together. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of Londoners during one of the most turbulent periods in modern history.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to an era where every individual played a role in shaping the future - making it both an artistic marvel and a poignant reminder of our collective past.
