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 evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of children huddle together on the pavement in Balham, South West London, circa 1961. The scene exudes an air of innocence and playful determination as the young urchins make the most of their makeshift camping site under a wooden plank and a piece of corrugated iron sheeting. The children, dressed in knitted jumpers and tartan trousers, seem to be in high spirits as they engage in their activities. One young girl, with a bright smile on her face, focuses intently on writing on a pre-printed form with a biro in hand. The rough texture of the pavement and the worn-out appearance of the children's clothes add to the authenticity of this snapshot of 1960s childhood. The children's unscripted joy and the simple pleasures they find in their urban surroundings serve as a reminder of a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. This photograph captures the essence of childhood, and the freedom and creativity that comes with it, in a time when the world seemed a little smaller and life's simple joys were more easily found.
