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: Westminster Fire Station, SW1: A Piece of Edwardian History Under Threat. This evocative photograph, taken in 1910, captures the grandeur and historical significance of Westminster Fire Station, located at 4 Greycoat Place, SW1. Established in 1906, this London Fire Brigade station was once a vital part of the city's firefighting services, having replaced the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in 1904. The station's Edwardian architecture stands proudly, showcasing intricate brickwork, large arched windows, and a distinctive red-and-blue color scheme. Westminster Fire Station's operational history spans over a century, making it a testament to the resilience and dedication of London's firefighters. However, this iconic building, which has remained an essential part of the community and the city's landscape, now faces an uncertain future. With changing needs in London's fire cover and financial cutbacks imposed by central government, the station is under the threat of closure. Despite the challenges, the station continues to serve the community, providing essential firefighting services. The building's rich history and architectural significance, however, extend beyond its operational role. It represents a bygone era, a time when London's firefighting services were expanding to meet the needs of a growing city. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the vital role that fire stations play in our communities and the importance of preserving their history. The future of Westminster Fire Station remains uncertain, but its legacy as a symbol of London's resilience and determination endures. Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans
