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 a moment in time at the Walls Ice Cream Factory in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. The image showcases a skilled worker operating a forklift to carefully move a crate of metal containers within the cold store. The factory, built by T. Walls and Sons Limited, was an ambitious project that began in February 1959 on a vast 30-acre site at Barnwood. The £2 million venture included various buildings such as production blocks, workshops, offices, canteens, boiler houses, water towers, and engineers' shops. This particular photograph highlights the importance of the cold store within the food processing plant. It served as a refrigerated storage facility for maintaining optimal conditions for ice cream production. Transporting heavy crates filled with metal containers required precision and expertise from workers like this man operating the forklift. His focused expression reflects his dedication to ensuring smooth operations within this bustling factory setting. Dating back to the 1960s era of British manufacturing excellence, this image offers us a glimpse into one aspect of food production during that time period. Preserved by Historic England Archive's collection and expertly captured by A© Joh photographer; it serves as both an informative historical document and an intriguing visual representation of industrial progress in action
