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.

US Flats - A Glimpse into New York's Innovative Housing of the 1920s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to April 1926, when a groundbreaking architectural project was underway in New York City. Captured by the skilled lens of Topical Press Agency, this image showcases an extraordinary housing development constructed on stilts. The landscape is dominated by these towering structures, their unique design defying convention and capturing the essence of early 20th-century style. The stilts elevate the buildings above ground level, creating a striking visual spectacle that challenges traditional notions of urban living. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn to the remarkable architecture itself. The absence of color further accentuates its timeless beauty and allows us to focus on every intricate detail. These flats stand as a testament to human ingenuity and progressive thinking during an era marked by rapid social change. They embody both functionality and artistic expression, seamlessly blending form with purpose. As we delve deeper into this archival masterpiece from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported across continents – from England where it was captured through Topical Press Agency's lens to the bustling streets of New York City where it found its home. This print serves as a reminder that art transcends boundaries – be they geographical or temporal – offering us glimpses into history while inspiring future generations with its enduring allure.
