31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures the iconic Oxford Street flagship store of Marks and Spencer, situated in the heart of City of Westminster, Greater London. Standing proudly at 458-464 Oxford Street, this historic building is a true testament to architectural brilliance. The photograph showcases the store from a south-east perspective, revealing its grandeur and elegance. Originally opened in November 1930, this landmark establishment was constructed by Bovis Limited in an astonishingly short span of just 17 days. A fascinating detail about this location is that Natwest bank once shared the ground and first floor premises until 1994; their distinctive logo can still be seen adorning the windows on the first floor. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of a bustling high street with its vibrant atmosphere and lively energy. As one gazes upon it, they are transported back in time to an era when department stores were at their zenith. This picture evokes nostalgia for a bygone era while also celebrating enduring British retail heritage. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's skillful photography perfectly captures every intricate detail of this remarkable structure. From its ornate architecture to its prominent position on Orchard Street corner, every aspect is meticulously preserved within this stunning visual representation. This print serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that pays homage to one of Britain's most beloved shopping destinations – Marks and Spencer on Oxford Street.
