1975 Aftermath Battersea Power Smouldering Sleaford
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 evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating fire that engulfed Sleaford Street in Battersea, South West London, in the 1970s. The London Fire Brigade had worked tirelessly through the night to bring the blaze under control, but the damage was extensive. The once vibrant street, home to a power station and various local businesses, now lay in ruins. The smouldering remnants of buildings are visible in the foreground, their facades charred and blackened, while the skeletal remains of metal structures loom ominously in the background. The fire station, a symbol of hope and protection, stands proudly in the distance, its red lights flashing against the smoky sky. The air is thick with the acrid smell of burnt rubber and metal, a stark reminder of the destruction that had taken place. The 1970s, a decade marked by social and political change, saw its fair share of disasters, both natural and man-made. This photograph offers a poignant snapshot of a community coming together in the face of adversity, as neighbours and emergency services worked to rebuild and restore order to their streets.
