31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 hustle and bustle of Browns Foundry 11 in Stockton-on-Tees during the 1970s. The image showcases the foundry's impressive machinery and the dedicated workers in action, with a foreman, Robin, and his assistant Dale, intently focused on their tasks. The foundry, which produced heavy engineering components, was a vital part of the local industry and economy in Stockton-on-Tees, a town located in the North East of England. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the region's industrial heritage. The foundry's large, imposing buildings and the towering chimney stack dominate the scene, while the workers in their protective gear and the steam rising from the machinery create a sense of energy and industry. The photograph also highlights the camaraderie and teamwork required in such a demanding environment. The 1970s were a time of significant social and economic change in the UK, and this photograph provides a fascinating insight into the industrial sector during that period. Browns Foundry 11, with its commitment to producing high-quality components, was a testament to the resilience and innovation of the region's manufacturing industry. Today, the foundry may no longer exist, but its legacy continues to shape the town and the lives of those who worked there.
