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 showcases the GLC-LFB Canteen Van, a vital addition to the enlarged London Fire Brigade (LFB) fleet, stationed at Lambeth Headquarters (HQ) in the 1960s. Established on April 1, 1965, the GLC-LFB was formed by the merger of various fire services in and around London. To document this significant change, a series of photos was commissioned, capturing each type of fire engine, including this mobile canteen van from Lambeth Fire Station (B22). The Canteen Van was a unique vehicle in the LFB's inventory, serving as a kitchen and canteen on the move. Its presence ensured that firefighters could be refueled and reenergized during long hours on the job. In this image, the van's open hatch and side door invite us to imagine the warm, inviting atmosphere within. The back of the van is adorned with the bold London Fire Brigade insignia, further emphasizing its importance as a part of the growing organization. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the diverse range of vehicles that made up the GLC-LFB fleet during its early years. The Canteen Van, with its essential role in providing catering services, was a testament to the thoughtful planning and comprehensive approach taken by the LFB to ensure the wellbeing and effectiveness of its firefighting teams.
