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 bustling scene at Browns Foundry 7 in Stockton-on-Tees during the 1970s. The foundry, which was not part of the Browns Group of Companies but rather an independent operation, was a significant employer in the area and played a crucial role in the local economy. In the foreground, a worker in a heavy-duty jumper and steel-capped boots stands at a large forge, his face focused intently on the glowing coals as he hammers away at a piece of red-hot metal. The air is thick with the smell of molten iron and the sound of hammering echoes through the vast, dimly lit space. To the right, a group of workers clad in similar attire gather around a table, deep in conversation as they examine a blueprint or plan. Their faces are etched with the marks of hard labor, but their expressions are focused and determined. The scene is completed by the towering stacks of raw materials and finished products that fill the background, a testament to the foundry's productivity and the vital role it played in the industrial heartland of the North East. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when heavy industry was the lifeblood of communities like Stockton-on-Tees. It is a poignant reminder of the human effort and dedication that went into creating the objects that shaped our world, and a reminder of the rich history that continues to define the region today.
