1886 Accidents Action Burning Crowds Fire Fighting Fires
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 print captures a moment of intense action as a London fire-engine races through the streets towards a burning building in 1886. The historical significance of this image is palpable, showcasing the bravery and dedication of firefighters in Britain during this era.
The urgency and speed with which the fire-engine is moving conveys the gravity of the situation, highlighting the importance of quick response times in fighting fires. The crowds gathered around watching add to the sense of chaos and danger that accompanies such emergencies.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back to a time when firefighting was much more perilous and primitive than it is today. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of fire safety and prevention.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured not just an ordinary moment, but rather an extraordinary display of heroism and determination in the face of adversity. This print is sure to evoke feelings of admiration for those who put their lives on the line every day to protect others from harm.
