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.

Transporting the Essentials - A Glimpse into London's Parcel Delivery System in 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bustling scene at Nine Elms goods yard, London, on the 19th of October, 1918. The image showcases a South Western Railways horse-drawn wagon stacked high with parcels ready for delivery. Captured by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, this archival piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the transportation methods and postal service of that era. The landscape format captures the cart pulled by a majestic working horse against the backdrop of railroad tracks. The sheer height of parcels piled onto the wagon is impressive, emphasizing the importance of efficient delivery during those times. This snapshot from England's past highlights how essential these deliveries were for people relying on mail services. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia as we witness an era when horses played an integral role in urban transport. It serves as a reminder that before modern vehicles took over our roads, it was these loyal animals who carried out vital tasks like parcel collection and distribution. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, one can't help but appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by both humans and animals involved in ensuring timely deliveries across London. This photograph stands as a testament to their efforts while offering us insight into an important aspect of early twentieth-century life – parcel delivery through traditional means.
