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
This evocative photograph captures the industrial landscape of Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, England, in the 1960s. Once the site of Josiah Wedgwood's famous pottery factory, which opened in 1769 and revolutionized the ceramics industry, the area now stands as a testament to the region's rich industrial heritage. The image showcases the vast expanse of the Etruria factories, with their towering chimneys and sprawling buildings, which once employed thousands of workers. The scene is one of industry and progress, with steam rising from the chimneys and trains transporting raw materials and finished goods in and out of the factories. Despite the hustle and bustle of activity, there is a sense of melancholy in the photograph, as the factories had closed by the 1950s, leaving behind empty buildings and abandoned machinery. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the area's industrial past and the people who once worked there. The photograph also highlights the unique character of Stoke-on-Trent, a city known for its ceramics industry and the birthplace of renowned potters such as Josiah Wedgwood. The image invites us to reflect on the history of this industrial landscape and the role it played in shaping the world of ceramics and manufacturing. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of industry and innovation. It is a reminder of the past, but also a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Etruria factories and the impact they had on the world of ceramics and industry.
