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
This print takes us back to the haunting reality of Hoxton Slums in Shaftesbury Street, London's East End, on a fateful day - 5th October 1946. Captured by the talented Francis Reiss for Picture Post magazine, this image transports us to an era marked by poverty and destitution. The dilapidated slum housing depicted in this photograph stands as a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions endured by countless families during that time. The crumbling architecture tells tales of hardship and struggle etched into every brick and window frame. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition devoid of any human presence, we are left with a sense of desolation that permeates through every corner of the frame. The absence of life only amplifies the weighty atmosphere surrounding these streets. Reiss' masterful use of photography adds depth to this archival piece, emphasizing the contrasts between light and shadow, hopelessness and resilience. It serves as a poignant testament to both the strength and vulnerability inherent within communities grappling with poverty. This print from Fine Art Storehouse compels us to reflect on our shared history while reminding us that progress can be born out of even the harshest circumstances. It is an evocative visual record that demands attention, urging viewers not to forget those who have struggled against adversity in their fight for survival.
