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 evocative photograph captures the devastating impact of the Blitz on Greenwich fire station in SE London during World War II. The early days of the bombing campaign saw the area suffer extensive damage, with this fire station being no exception. The rubble and debris scattered around the station are a stark reminder of the relentless air raids that bombarded London during the 1940s. The London Fire Brigade, an essential frontline service during wartime, worked tirelessly to extinguish fires and provide assistance to those in need. Despite the damage to their own station, the brave firefighters continued their vital work, risking their lives to protect their communities. The damaged building, with its charred walls and broken windows, stands as a testament to the destruction caused by the bombing. The scene is one of chaos and destruction, with the remains of nearby buildings visible in the background. Yet, amidst the devastation, there is a sense of resilience and determination. The London Fire Brigade, like the city itself, refused to be defeated. This photograph, taken in 1940, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the unwavering spirit of the London Fire Brigade. It is a powerful image that encapsulates the bravery and resilience of those who served during the Blitz and the indomitable spirit of London during wartime.
