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 photo print, captured by Aerofilms Ltd in July 1930, takes us back to a significant era in history. The image showcases the English Electric Company Works located in Coventry, an industrial hub that played a crucial role during the Second World War. As we gaze upon this aerial view, it becomes evident that this area would later suffer greatly from devastating bombing raids. The photograph offers a glimpse into the heart of industry at its peak. Vast buildings sprawl across the landscape, revealing the magnitude of production within these factory walls. Smoke billows from towering chimneys as evidence of ceaseless activity and progress. It is here that skilled workers dedicated themselves to manufacturing essential machinery and equipment vital for wartime efforts. Yet beyond its historical significance lies an eerie sense of vulnerability lurking beneath the surface. Knowing what fate awaits this very location just over a decade later adds depth to our appreciation for this snapshot frozen in time. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print serves as a poignant reminder of both resilience and loss experienced during times of conflict. It allows us to reflect on how communities rebuild after devastation strikes their doorstep while honoring those who worked tirelessly behind these factory walls to protect their nation's future.
