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 intricate workings of the rear section of a Shand Mason steam fire engine from the London Fire Brigade's collection during the early 1900s. The Edwardian era transport equipment, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, is seen here in its working end, where the steam-driven fire pump takes center stage. The Shand Mason horse-drawn engine, a staple in firefighting services during this period, was a marvel of engineering that harnessed the power of steam to aid in extinguishing fires. The detail in this image reveals the complex machinery that made this possible, with various pipes, valves, and gears all working in harmony to deliver water to the fire hose. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to preserving such historical appliances not only pays homage to the rich history of firefighting but also serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the industry. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a crucial piece of firefighting equipment from the early 20th century.
