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 titled "Pedestrians, London a001643" transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Westminster, London. Taken between 1945 and 1965 by S W Rawlings, this image offers a unique perspective from atop Waterloo Bridge, looking down onto the vibrant pavement below. The scene is filled with an array of pedestrians going about their daily lives, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of human activity. The composition captures the essence of city life during this era - people hurrying along on their way to work or leisurely strolling through the historic streets. Each figure seems lost in their own thoughts or engaged in conversations with fellow passersby. What makes this photograph truly intriguing is its play with light and shadow. The oblique angle at which it was taken casts long shadows across the pavement, adding depth and dimension to the image. These shadows create an almost poetic contrast against the bright patches where sunlight manages to break through. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while also recognizing that some aspects remain timeless. It serves as a testament to both our shared humanity and our ever-evolving urban landscapes. This print allows us to reflect on the past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
