23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of City of London, circa 1935. Standing tall on the corner of Friday Street and Queen Victoria Street, we see a remarkable piece of history - a Police Public Callbox. This iconic symbol of communication and safety was an integral part of urban life during that era. The callbox itself is a striking shade of blue, contrasting beautifully against the surrounding architecture. Its sturdy cast iron structure exudes strength and reliability, reflecting the values associated with law enforcement at the time. The attention to detail in its design showcases the craftsmanship prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it's impossible not to imagine how these telephone booths served as lifelines for citizens seeking help or reporting emergencies. They were beacons of hope amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Bob Manekshaw LRPS has skillfully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty encapsulated within this image. Through his lens, he transports us back to an era when telecommunication was still evolving but already making its mark on society. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even though technology may have advanced since then, some things remain constant - our need for connection and assurance in times of uncertainty.
