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
1. Title: Kingston Fire Station, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, 1960s. This evocative photograph captures the Kingston Fire Station in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, during the 1960s. The fire station, which was originally built for the Surrey Fire Brigade in 1959, is seen here in its prime, standing proudly as a symbol of community protection and emergency response. With the creation of the Greater London Council in 1965, the Kingston Fire Station, along with many others in the area, was transferred into the London Fire Brigade. The London Fire Brigade, established in 1865, is the oldest professional firefighting force in the world, and this station became an integral part of its network. The fire station building, a testament to the dedication and hard work of the firemen and firefighters who served there, is seen here in all its glory. The red brick structure, with its distinctive fire station sign and hoses neatly coiled, exudes a sense of purpose and readiness. The fire engines, parked outside, are a reminder of the vital role the firefighters played in protecting the local community from fires and other emergencies. The 1960s were a pivotal decade for the fire service, with new technologies and techniques being adopted to improve firefighting capabilities. The Kingston Fire Station, with its modern facilities and dedicated team, was at the forefront of these advancements. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of firefighting in Kingston-upon-Thames and the surrounding areas. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and commitment of the firefighters who have dedicated their lives to keeping their communities safe.
