Brompton Covered Escape Fashioned Forecourt Ladder Parade Stations
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 the early 1905, depicts Brompton fire station A3 (later A6) of the London Fire Brigade, located at 18 South Parade in the heart of London. The Edwardian-era fire station, built in 1892, is a striking example of the architectural beauty and functionality of the time. The red brick building, adorned with intricate detailing, stands proudly on the street, while the covered escape ladder on the station forecourt adds an air of preparedness and safety. The London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, the precursor to the London Fire Brigade, operated from this station until its closure in 1964. The arrival of the new Chelsea fire station marked the end of an era for this historic building. The fire station's service vehicles, with their distinctive design and bold colors, can be seen parked in front of the station, adding to the bustling scene. The covered escape ladder, fashioned from wood and canvas, is a testament to the innovative solutions employed during this period to ensure the safety of the community. The ladder, which would have been used to rescue people from upper-story windows during fires, is an essential piece of firefighting equipment that adds character and historical significance to this photograph. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of London's firefighting services and the evolution of fire stations in the city.
