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
This photograph, taken in 1902, showcases the London Fire Brigade in a grand parade through Victoria Park, East London. The scene is a striking representation of the evolution of firefighting technology during the Edwardian era. Firemen in their traditional uniforms proudly march alongside both horse-drawn and motorised fire engines, symbolizing the transition from the traditional methods of the past to the modern innovations of the present. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, had been making great strides in incorporating new technologies into their operations. The horse-drawn vehicles, which had been the backbone of the service for decades, were gradually being replaced by motorised engines. The combination of the two in this parade represents the delicate balance between tradition and progress that characterized the early 20th century. The firemen, with their determined expressions and smart uniforms, exude a sense of pride and professionalism. The horses, too, seem to understand the importance of the occasion, their ears pricked and eyes focused on the path ahead. The motorised engines, with their shiny surfaces and impressive machinery, are a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. Victoria Park, a popular recreational space for the people of East London, provides the perfect backdrop for this historic event. The lush greenery and clear blue skies add to the sense of occasion, making this photograph a beautiful snapshot of London's firefighting history.
