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 captures the grandeur of Chelsea Barracks, a historic military establishment that once stood proudly on Chelsea Bridge Road in London. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Felton in 1960, this image showcases the barracks as they appeared from the south during their final years before demolition. Built between 1861 and 1863, these Victorian-era buildings exuded an air of strength and authority. The intricate architectural details, visible even in monochrome, speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Rows of windows line each facade while chimneys punctuate the skyline, hinting at bustling activity within. Sadly, shortly after Felton immortalized this scene with his lens, these magnificent structures were lost forever. Demolished around 1960-61 for reasons unknown to us today, their absence leaves behind only memories and photographs such as this one. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the physical loss but also of the history that unfolded within those walls. This was a place where soldiers trained and lived; where stories were written and shared; where lives were shaped by duty and camaraderie. Herbert Leo Felton's photograph serves as both a tribute to Chelsea Barracks' former glory and a reminder that even our most cherished landmarks can be swept away by progress or circumstance. Let it stand as a testament to all that has been lost but should never be forgotten.
