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 photograph, dated 1962, depicts a bowler-hatted city gent taking a leisurely stroll in a park. The man, dressed in a sharp business suit and carrying a briefcase, embodies the quintessential image of a 1960s British businessman. His bowler hat, a symbol of authority and respectability, sits neatly atop his head, shielding him from the occasional drizzle with the help of a rolled umbrella. The park, filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, provides a stark contrast to the man's formal attire. The serene atmosphere of the park seems to momentarily pause the hustle and bustle of the city life, allowing the gentleman to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. The 1960s were a time of significant social and cultural change, and this photograph captures a snapshot of a bygone era. The bowler-hatted city gent, with his traditional attire and outdated accessories, stands out as a relic of a time when formal dress codes were the norm, and the work-life balance was not yet a priority. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a testament to the enduring charm of the British park culture, where city dwellers could escape the concrete jungle and find solace in nature, even for a brief moment.
