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 transports us back to September 1985, capturing the enchanting display of Fortnum and Mason's shop windows on Piccadilly in Greater London. The iconic storefront of this renowned establishment is beautifully showcased, revealing a glimpse into the world of luxury shopping that has captivated visitors for centuries. The attention to detail in this photograph is truly remarkable. Each window pane acts as a canvas for an exquisite arrangement of products, meticulously arranged to entice passersby. From delectable confectioneries and fine teas to elegant homeware and luxurious gifts, every item seems carefully curated to create an atmosphere of opulence and indulgence. The composition skillfully captures the essence of commerce at its finest. The vibrant colors and intricate designs draw our eyes towards each individual display, inviting us into a realm where elegance meets extravagance. It serves as a testament not only to the artistry behind visual merchandising but also reflects the rich history embedded within these walls. Paul D Barkshire's lens perfectly encapsulates the allure that has made Fortnum and Mason an institution in British retail culture. This image evokes nostalgia for a time when shopping was more than just acquiring goods; it was an experience filled with wonderment and discovery. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how even something as simple as a shop window can transport us into another world - one where beauty reigns supreme, craftsmanship is cherished, and dreams come alive through objects meticulously displayed with care.
