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
Step back in time to the grandeur of the British Empire Expo in April 1924, as captured by MacGregor's lens. This print showcases the pavilions under construction at Wembley, a testament to the architectural prowess and artistic decoration that defined this iconic event. The image invites us into a landscape where history unfolds before our eyes. From left to right, we witness the diverse cultures and regions that constituted the vast British Empire: Burma, East Africa, Gold Coast, Canadian Pacific, Canada, and Australia. In the foreground stands India's pavilion; its intricate design reflecting an amalgamation of rich traditions. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an era marked by ambition and exploration. The exhibition site itself becomes a symbol of progress and innovation within Europe's bustling cultural scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from 1924, it becomes clear that architecture is more than just bricks and mortar; it is an expression of identity and power. The construction industry played a vital role in shaping these magnificent structures which served as gateways for visitors to explore different lifestyles across continents. MacGregor's artistry transports us back to an age when exhibitions were grand spectacles showcasing human achievements. It reminds us of how far we have come while urging us never to forget our shared history.
