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 captures the essence of history within the depths of Dover Castle's wartime tunnels. Stepping into this hidden world, one is transported back to the intense days of World War II. The image showcases the Anti-Aircraft Operations Room, a nerve center where military strategists meticulously planned and coordinated their defense against enemy attacks. The atmosphere in this room is palpable; it exudes an air of determination and resilience. The dimly lit space reveals a table adorned with maps, charts, and various instruments that were once vital tools for those entrusted with safeguarding the nation's security. Each item on that table tells a story - stories of countless hours spent analyzing data, making critical decisions, and ultimately protecting lives. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by those who served here but also of the sacrifices made during times of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that freedom often comes at great cost. Thanks to Historic England Photo Library's meticulous preservation efforts, we have been granted access to this extraordinary visual time capsule. This print allows us to bear witness to an important chapter in our collective history – one that should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
