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 photograph, EPW022470 from the Historic England Archive, offers a unique bird's-eye view of Leighton Buzzard's historic town center as it appeared in 1928. The image, captured by Aerofilms Ltd, showcases the picturesque High Street and All Saints Church, a prominent landmark of the town. All Saints Church, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and tall spire, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. Its Gothic Revival architecture, featuring intricate stonework and pointed arches, is a testament to the rich history of the town. The church, which dates back to the 13th century, has been an integral part of Leighton Buzzard's community for centuries. Surrounding the church is the bustling High Street, filled with a mix of shops, houses, and public buildings. The wide, tree-lined street is a reflection of the town's prosperity during the early 20th century. The photograph also reveals the presence of the Market Square, located to the left of the image, where locals would gather to buy and sell produce and other goods. The intricate details of the buildings and the layout of the town are beautifully preserved in this aerial photograph. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the urban landscape of Leighton Buzzard over 90 years ago. This photograph is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the town's rich heritage.
