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 "Keys in door a068503" transports us back to the humble entrance of Heathrow Primary School in Hillingdon, captured through the lens of renowned photographer John Gay. The image, dating between 1966 and 1975, encapsulates a moment frozen in time. In this snapshot, we are drawn to a set of keys hanging delicately from the doorknob, symbolizing access and opportunity. The worn-out wooden door tells tales of countless students who have passed through its threshold over the years. Its weathered texture hints at stories untold - laughter echoing down hallways, friendships forged during recess breaks, and lessons learned within these very walls. The photograph's simplicity is what makes it so powerful; it focuses solely on this minute yet significant detail – keys that hold the power to unlock knowledge and shape futures. As viewers, we find ourselves contemplating what lies beyond that doorway - a world filled with endless possibilities for those eager young minds. John Gay's masterful composition invites us to reflect on our own experiences as former students or parents bidding farewell at school gates. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when education was pursued with fervor and innocence reigned supreme. Through his lens, Gay has immortalized an everyday scene into an extraordinary work of art that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever stepped foot inside a school building. This photograph serves as a testament to both the universal nature of education and our collective journey towards growth and enlightenment.
