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
Step back in time to the 1950s at Larkswood Lido in Chingford, Essex, where two elegantly dressed women take in the scenic beauty and excitement of this popular open-air swimming pool. The sun shines brightly overhead as they survey the vibrant scene before them, their high heels clicking against the tiled edge of the pool. Larkswood Lido, a historical landmark and a cherished part of Chingford's rich heritage, opened its doors to the public in 1938. This stunning art deco pool, with its distinctive blue and white tiling and sleek lines, was a symbol of glamour and sophistication in post-war Britain. The women's bathing costumes, with their cinched waists and full skirts, are reminiscent of the era's fashion trends. Their polished nails, carefully applied makeup, and meticulously styled hair add to their allure, emphasizing the importance of presentation and self-care even during a day at the pool. The atmosphere at Larkswood Lido was one of relaxation and enjoyment, as families and friends gathered to soak up the sun and take a dip in the cool, refreshing water. The pool's lush gardens, manicured lawns, and picturesque surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for a day of leisure and fun. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the laughter and chatter of the crowd, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, and taste the sweetness of an ice-cream cone from the poolside kiosk. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of open-air swimming pools and the memories they create, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage photographs or nostalgic keepsakes.
