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 grandeur and history of the LCC-LFB Pageants Wharf fire station in Rotherhithe, London, which was built by the London County Council and opened in 1903. The Edwardian-era fire station, located at 241 Rotherhithe Street, SE16, stands proudly with its red brick façade and ornate detailing. At the turn of the 20th century, the Surrey Docks system was a bustling hub of maritime activity, and the fire station played a crucial role in protecting the area's industries and residents. The swing bridges at either end of Rotherhithe Street provided access to the docks, but they were eventually removed in the 1960s, marking the decline of the Surrey Docks system. As a result, the Pageants Wharf fire station was closed in 1968. Despite the passage of time and the changes in the surrounding area, the fire station remains a significant piece of London's firefighting history. Its red brick walls and intricate architectural details tell the story of a bygone era, when the fire service played a vital role in the daily life of the community. Today, the station serves as a reminder of the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the important role it has played in protecting the city for over a century."
