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 evocative photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Andor Gomme in March 1958, captures the bustling scene of Henley-on-Thames' Market Place in Oxfordshire. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the urban life of the past. In the foreground, a row of cars are parked haphazardly along the cobblestone street, their tires deflated and their paintwork faded with the passage of time. The cars, a testament to the growing popularity of automobiles in the late 1950s, add a sense of energy and movement to the scene. As our eyes move beyond the cars, we are drawn to the towering presence of St Mary's Church in the distance. Its ancient tower, with its intricate stonework and weathered appearance, stands proudly against the clear blue sky, a reminder of the town's rich history and heritage. The Market Place, with its quaint shops and bustling crowds, is a hive of activity. People can be seen milling about, some engaged in animated conversations, while others are busy with their shopping. The scene is one of lively interaction and community spirit, a quality that has long defined Henley-on-Thames. Andor Gomme's photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of shopping in a quaint English town were a source of joy and connection for its residents.
