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
1. Title: A Symphony of Modern Architecture: The Royal Festival Hall and the Shell Buildings, London in the 1960s 2. Description: This photograph, taken by renowned British photographer John Hinde of John Hinde Studios, showcases an iconic view of London's South Bank in the 1960s. The image features the majestic Royal Festival Hall, a significant cultural landmark, and the distinctive Shell Buildings, both embodying the innovative and modern spirit of post-war England. 3. Background: The Royal Festival Hall, designed by architects Leslie Martin and Robert Matthew, was completed in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain celebrations. The building's sweeping curves and expansive glass walls symbolized a new era in British architecture and culture. The adjacent Shell Buildings, designed by Berthold Lubetkin and Peregrine Bridgman, were constructed in 1962, serving as the headquarters for the Shell Oil Company. 4. Composition: The photograph masterfully captures the harmony between the two structures, with the Royal Festival Hall's reflective glass facade reflecting the Shell Buildings' geometric design. The Thames River, with its gentle current, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. The image also highlights the bustling activity on the South Bank, with people milling about and boats passing by, emphasizing the vibrant energy of the area. 5. Legacy: This photograph is a testament to the transformative power of architecture and the enduring appeal of London's South Bank. The Royal Festival Hall and the Shell Buildings continue to be cherished symbols of post-war modernism and serve as important cultural and architectural landmarks in the city. This image invites us to explore the rich history and vibrant energy of London during the 1960s.
