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 photo print, titled "National Food Fund BL22913_002" takes us back to the heart of London during the First World War. The image showcases the impressive National Food Fund building on Dover Street in Westminster, a symbol of hope and compassion amidst the chaos of war. This historic structure played a crucial role in processing donated food to feed thousands of Belgian war refugees who had sought shelter in England. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Adolph Augustus Boucher (Bedford Lemere), we witness a group of dedicated women diligently packing groceries inside the bustling National Food Fund facility. Dressed in their traditional early 20th-century attire, these resilient workers embody the spirit of unity and resilience that defined Britain's home front during wartime. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of the immense challenges faced by those affected by conflict but also highlights how communities can come together to support one another during times of crisis. It captures an important chapter in history when women stepped up to fill vital roles traditionally held by men, proving their invaluable contributions beyond doubt. As we reflect upon this remarkable image from Historic England's collection, let us remember and honor all those who selflessly worked behind-the-scenes at organizations like the National Food Fund, providing sustenance and solace for those displaced by war.
