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.

The Linotype machine, once an integral part of newspaper printing, is depicted here as these young men skillfully manipulate its intricate mechanisms to produce lines of type on metal strips. Located on Peckham Road, this renowned institution provided a nurturing environment for aspiring artists and craftsmen during the early 20th century. Under the guidance of experienced instructors from the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council Photograph Library, these students honed their craft with dedication and precision. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the importance placed on education by both individuals and local councils.
