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 takes us back to the vibrant dance floor of Harrods department store in 1923. Located on Brompton Road, Knightsbridge, London, this iconic retail establishment has been a symbol of luxury and elegance since its founding in 1849. The photograph showcases the grandeur of Harrods' dancing room, where patrons gathered to revel in the joyous rhythms of the era. Intriguingly, several gramophones are strategically placed around the room for music demonstrations. These mechanical marvels brought melodies to life through their spinning records, enchanting visitors with their melodic tunes. The image captures a moment frozen in time when people swayed gracefully across the polished dance floor amidst an atmosphere brimming with excitement and sophistication. Constructed between 1901 and 1930, Harrods' current building stands as a testament to architectural excellence. Its magnificent design is beautifully showcased here as it serves as a backdrop for this lively scene from yesteryears. The Bedford Lemere daybook reveals that Harrods' advertising department commissioned this photograph by Adolphe Augustus Boucher - an artist who skillfully captured not only the essence of Harrods but also the spirit of an era defined by music and retail indulgence. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when shopping was more than just acquiring goods; it was an experience filled with charm and grace that unfolded within these hallowed walls
