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 from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the 1880s, offering a unique aerial perspective of Lewisham Methodist Church and Sunday School. The image was captured from a gas balloon, providing an extraordinary view of this Victorian-era church located on Albion Road in Lewisham, Greater London. The church itself, built in 1870, stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its architectural beauty is evident even from above, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship that were characteristic of the era. The adjacent Sunday School building also catches our attention with its charming design. However, history took a devastating turn for this beloved place of worship during World War II when it fell victim to a bomb attack in 1944. Sadly, due to extensive damage caused by the bombing raid, the church was later demolished. Preserved within this photograph is not only a visual record of an important historical structure but also a testament to resilience and change over time. It serves as a reminder that buildings may come and go but their significance lives on through documentation like these lantern slides dating from 1882-1892. Thanks to efforts by organizations such as Historic England Archive, we can appreciate glimpses into our past and gain deeper insights into how our cities have evolved throughout history.
