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 poignant photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, a group of young evacuees wave goodbye to the world they once knew as they depart on a train bound for new homes in the safe districts of Britain during the 1940s. The children, labeled with their names and destinations, peer out of the train window with expressions of apprehension and sadness, as their parents and loved ones wave farewell from the platform. During World War II, the evacuation of children from urban areas to rural districts was a significant historical event aimed at protecting the vulnerable population from the devastating effects of bombing raids and air attacks. This photograph captures the emotional moment of separation and the uncertainty that came with the evacuation process. The train carriage, filled with the sounds of children's voices and the clinking of suitcases, became a symbol of hope and safety for those leaving behind the chaos and danger of the war. The countryside districts of Britain, with their green fields and open spaces, offered a sense of security and respite from the horrors of the conflict. As the train pulls away from the station, the children's gazes remain fixed on the receding landscape, a reminder of the homes, families, and lives they are leaving behind. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The image is a powerful testament to the historical significance of the evacuation process during World War II and the impact it had on the lives of countless children and families. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment of goodbye, and a moment of new beginnings.
