Department Derry Kensington Store Toms 1919
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 striking poster, hailing from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Kensington, London, in 1919. The focus of our attention is the iconic Derry and Toms department store, proudly displayed on the grand poster. Derry and Toms, a historical landmark located on Kensington High Street, was renowned for its elegance and sophistication. Established in 1858, the store had long been a favorite among the city's elite and fashion-conscious population. By the turn of the 20th century, it had transformed into a veritable emporium, offering an extensive range of goods from clothing and textiles to household items and exotic curiosities. The poster, with its vibrant colors and intricate design, effectively captures the allure of the store. The image of a graceful woman, her eyes fixed on the Derry and Toms sign, is a testament to the store's magnetic pull. The ornate, Art Deco-inspired typography and the meticulously drawn details of the store's facade further emphasize the store's opulence and grandeur. The poster also serves as a fascinating snapshot of the era, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and advertising styles of the time. The use of bold, contrasting colors and intricate, hand-drawn details were common in posters during the early 20th century, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time. As we gaze upon this poster, we are transported back to a bygone era, where the allure of Derry and Toms department store held sway over the hearts and minds of Londoners. A true treasure from the Mary Evans Picture Library, this poster is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical document, offering a glimpse into the rich history of shopping and advertising in London.
