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, taken by John Maltby in 1937, showcases the elegant and timeless beauty of the Swiss Cottage Odeon cinema in Camden, London. The Odeon cinema chain was established by Oscar Deutsch in 1933, and this particular cinema, registered under the trade mark Odeon, opened its doors to the public in 1937. Unlike many of Odeon's cinemas, which followed the modern movement and Art Deco style, the Swiss Cottage Odeon stands out with its distinctive red brick exterior. The building, designed by Harry Weedon, is a testament to the architectural diversity within the Odeon chain. The image captures the cinema in its early days, with a car parked outside, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The recreational hub bustles with life, as people gather to enjoy an evening at the movies. The Odeon in Swiss Cottage was not just a place to watch the latest films, but a social destination where friends and families could come together for an unforgettable experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when cinema was a cherished part of everyday life. The Swiss Cottage Odeon remains an important piece of London's cinematic history, a reminder of the role that cinemas played in shaping our leisure time and bringing communities together.
