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
In this striking photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, a group of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) officers proudly sit together in their Sunday best attire, leaving behind their disguises as dockworkers. The image, taken circa 1911, showcases the officers' transformation from undercover detectives to distinguished gentlemen. The CID officers, who were previously seen in disguise among the dockers in another picture in this set, have now shed their fake hands, eye-patches, and other disguises. They don their finest suits, complete with collared shirts, ties, and stylish hats. The officers' proud posture and polished appearance convey a sense of accomplishment and professionalism. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of British law enforcement during the early 20th century. At the time, the use of undercover officers was a common tactic employed by the police to gather intelligence and apprehend criminals. The officers' Sunday best attire in this photograph underscores the dual nature of their work, highlighting the contrast between their disguises and their true identities. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of the CID and its role in shaping the modern police force. The CID was established in 1913, making this photograph an important historical record of the organization's early days. Overall, this photograph is a captivating representation of the men behind the badges, showcasing their dedication to their work and their commitment to upholding the law.
