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.

A Pioneering Conversation Across the Atlantic: The Reverend G.A. Weekes, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and the President of Harvard University Engage in a Historic Telephone Call (1927) This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in history as The Reverend G.A. Weekes, Vice-Chancellor of the prestigious University of Cambridge in Britain, engages in a telephone conversation with the President of Harvard University in the United States. The call, made shortly after the transatlantic telephone service between London and New York was inaugurated on January 25, 1927, marked a new era in global communication. The Reverend Weekes, dressed in academic robes, is seen intently listening to the Harvard President on the other end of the line. The telephone, a bulky and impressive piece of technology for the time, sits prominently on a table between them. The image, taken on the 29th of January, 1927, is a testament to the rapid advancements in technology that were transforming the world. The transatlantic telephone service was a major import for Britain, and its rollout to other areas of the country was a cause for celebration. The telephone call between Cambridge and Harvard was a symbolic representation of the growing connections between the two universities and the broader academic community. The conversation between these esteemed educational institutions paved the way for increased collaboration and knowledge exchange across continents. This photograph, from the ILN (International News Ltd.) collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the remarkable progress that has been made in communication technology over the past century.
