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
Amid the chaos and destruction of the Blitz in London during World War II, the unwavering courage and dedication of the fire brigade shone brightly. This powerful image captures a rescue squad at work in Wandsworth on the 16th of November, 1940, following oil and high explosive bomb damage. The firemen, dressed in their iconic tin helmets and protective clothing, are seen carefully navigating the debris, assessing the situation, and working tirelessly to save lives and extinguish the flames. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with smoke billowing from the ruins in the background and the fire hose stretched out, ready to be put to use. The determination and focus on the faces of these brave men underscore the resilience and fortitude of the British people during the 2nd World War, as they faced the challenges of the home front and the devastating air raids that marked the Blitz. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the firefighters during the war, and the vital role they played in protecting the city and its inhabitants.
