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 evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Woolworths in Birmingham during the early 1920s to 1930s. Located on Spiceal Street, the exterior of the F.W. Woolworth and Company Limited store is a testament to the retail giant's enduring legacy. The shop front, adorned with large display windows, showcases an array of merchandise, enticing passersby with its diverse offerings. Two women, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, are seen in the foreground, making their way towards the camera. Their expressions suggest excitement and anticipation as they approach the store. The women's outfits, along with the fashionable hats and accessories they carry, offer a glimpse into the trends and styles of the time. The photograph also reveals the vibrant and lively street scene, with people milling about and going about their daily business. The presence of the red, white, and green Woolworths sign above the entrance adds to the sense of familiarity and nostalgia. Woolworths, founded in 1878, was a pioneer in the mass merchandising industry, offering a wide range of goods at affordable prices. The Birmingham store, like many others across the country, became a beloved destination for shoppers seeking value and variety. This photograph not only provides a snapshot of retail history but also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of the time.
