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 takes us back in time to the year 1890, inside the renowned Rotherhams Watch Factory located on Spon Street, Coventry. The image showcases an intimate glimpse into the pinion room of this bustling industrial hub, where rows of intricate machines stand as a testament to craftsmanship and precision. The composition exudes a sense of controlled chaos; gears and cogs interlock with meticulous accuracy, while skilled workers maneuver around them with purposeful grace. The atmosphere is alive with energy as these dedicated artisans diligently carry out their tasks, each contributing to the creation of exquisite timepieces that would soon find their way onto wrists across the nation. Photographed by Bedford Lemere for Waterlow & Son, this print captures not only the physicality of a watch factory but also embodies its spirit – one driven by innovation and dedication to quality. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every corner of this vast space, emphasizing both its grandeur and intimacy simultaneously.
