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 takes us back to the bustling streets of Charing Cross Road in July 1982. The lens of photographer Paul Barkshire perfectly captures the essence of this iconic London neighborhood, known for its vibrant energy and cultural significance. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the prominent building at 103 Charing Cross Road. This was once home to the beloved Tam O Shanter pub, a place where locals and visitors alike would gather for a pint and lively conversation. Its charming facade stands as a testament to the rich history that permeates every corner of this city. Adjacent to the former pub is the Filmcenta cinema, an establishment that played an integral role in shaping Soho's entertainment scene. As we peer through its windows, we catch glimpses of movie posters advertising some timeless classics: Once Upon a Time in the West, The French Lieutenants Woman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. These films not only entertained audiences but also left an indelible mark on cinematic history. The atmosphere captured in this photograph is one filled with anticipation and excitement. It transports us back to a time when cinemas were buzzing with eager moviegoers seeking escape or inspiration within their hallowed walls. Paul Barkshire's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this snapshot from decades past – reminding us that even amidst change and progress, there will always be remnants of bygone eras waiting to be discovered on Charing Cross Road.
