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.

Knightsbridge Fire Station, SW3: A Piece of London's Firefighting History Under Threat This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of Knightsbridge Fire Station, located at Basil Street in South West London, which opened its doors in 1907. At the time, the station was a proud addition to the London Fire Brigade (LFB), which had adopted its current name in 1904, replacing the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The Edwardian-era building, with its red brick facade and ornate detailing, exudes a sense of strength and resilience, reflecting the vital role the fire service played in protecting the city. The Knightsbridge station has remained operational for over a century, serving the community tirelessly. However, its future is uncertain as the London Fire Brigade faces changing needs and financial cutbacks imposed by the central government. The station is currently under threat of closure, a stark reminder of the challenges the service faces in adapting to the modern world. The London Fire Brigade has a rich history, having been established in 1865, and has played a crucial role in shaping the city's skyline and saving countless lives. Knightsbridge Fire Station, with its historic charm and operational significance, is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who have served and continue to serve the community. As we admire the beauty of this photograph, let us not forget the importance of supporting our emergency services and ensuring they have the resources they need to continue their vital work. The future of Knightsbridge Fire Station, and the London Fire Brigade as a whole, hangs in the balance. Let us hope that, like the brave firefighters who have come before them, they will continue to protect and serve the people of London for generations to come.
