23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 vibrant atmosphere of the Festival of Britain in 1951. The image showcases the New School Pavilion, an architectural gem that stood proudly next to the Waterloo Bridge Gate on London's South Bank. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported to a time when art, culture, and innovation converged in one magnificent event. The Festival of Britain was a celebration of post-war recovery and marked a turning point for British society. It aimed to inspire hope and optimism by showcasing advancements in design, technology, and creativity. This photograph encapsulates that spirit as it captures the essence of this iconic festival. The New School Pavilion itself is an impressive structure with its sleek lines and modernist aesthetic. Its presence symbolizes progress and forward-thinking ideas that were at the heart of the festival's ethos. The sculpture adorning its entrance adds another layer of artistic expression to this already visually striking composition. Preserved within Historic England Archive, this print serves as a window into our past—a testament to our ability as humans to come together during challenging times and create something truly remarkable. It reminds us not only of our rich cultural heritage but also inspires us to continue pushing boundaries in pursuit of a better future.
