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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of the home front during World War II as city workers, with jolly expressions and tools slung over their shoulders, march towards allotments and farms. The image is a poignant reminder of the collective effort and resilience of the British people during this challenging time. During the Blitz of 1940, Londoners were encouraged to grow their own food in allotments and gardens as part of the Dig for Victory campaign. This not only helped to reduce the strain on food supplies but also provided a sense of community and purpose for those who had been displaced or were unable to work in their regular jobs due to the war. The workers in this photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be setting off for a day of hard work on the land. Their tools, carefully balanced on their shoulders, are a testament to their determination and resourcefulness. The image is a powerful example of the morale-boosting propaganda used during the war, which emphasized the importance of unity, self-sufficiency, and the spirit of the British people in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, is a significant historical document that captures the essence of a pivotal moment in British history. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the people of London during the war, as well as the sense of camaraderie and community that emerged from the shared experience of working towards a common goal.
