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 transports us back to the golden age of cinema. The image showcases the magnificent Cinema organ BB87_02757, nestled within the interior of the Odeon Cinema on Haverstock Hill in Hampstead, London. Designed by T P Bennett & Son and unveiled on 29 September 1934, this iconic venue was a true flagship of its time. What makes this particular organ even more special is its rarity for that era. By 1934, cinema organs were becoming increasingly uncommon, but Haverstock Hill's status as a premier establishment warranted the inclusion of a Compton organ. This stunning example perfectly embodies the Art Deco style embraced by the Odeon circuit. The photograph itself was expertly captured in September 1934 by John Maltby, showcasing his keen eye for detail and composition. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the grandeur of this musical instrument but also imagine ourselves immersed in an evening filled with recreation and leisure at this historic cinematic gem. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let us reflect on how it represents an era when going to the movies was truly an unforgettable experience.
