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.

This print captures a pivotal moment in history, the Military Coup of 10th May 1926 during the General Strike in London. The image showcases an imposing British armoured tank departing from Wellington Barracks, leaving viewers with a sense of awe and intrigue. As one gazes at this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this event held significant implications for the nation. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful; its landscape format allows for a panoramic view of the scene unfolding before our eyes. Amidst the backdrop of London's streets, we witness both male and female figures observing this extraordinary sight. Their expressions range from curiosity to concern, reflecting their awareness of the gravity surrounding them. The tank itself stands as a symbol of power and authority—a formidable force amidst chaos—its presence commanding attention. This visual juxtaposition between military might and civilian life serves as a stark reminder of how societal tensions can escalate to such extremes. Hulton Archive has masterfully preserved this poignant moment through their meticulous restoration work on this vintage print. By presenting it in classic black and white format, they have captured not only an important historical event but also evoked nostalgia for a bygone era. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, let us reflect upon the significance of these events that shaped our world today—an enduring testament to human resilience amidst times of strife.
