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
In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment of communication. A young Western Union messenger stands confidently facing the camera, his uniform impeccably crisp and his hat perched proudly on his head. The studio shot captures him waist up, allowing us to focus on his determined expression as he announces a telegram. The image exudes an old-fashioned charm with its vintage aesthetic and timeless subject matter. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era when handwritten letters held immense value and telegrams were eagerly anticipated messengers of news. This particular photograph encapsulates the essence of human connection through written words. What makes this scene even more intriguing is that our messenger is just a child - perhaps highlighting the importance placed upon trustworthiness and responsibility within Western Union's ranks. Surrounded by messages waiting to be delivered, he carries out his duty with utmost dedication. H. Armstrong Roberts masterfully captured this snapshot in time, freezing it forever for us to admire decades later. As we gaze at this evocative composition, we can't help but appreciate the significance of communication throughout history – how it has evolved yet remained an essential part of our lives.
