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 crew of Woolwich Fire Station, located on Sunbury Street in SE London, on parade in the late 1930s. The impending threat of World War 2 casts a shadow over the scene, with an Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) fire engine standing proudly next to the London Fire Brigade (LFB) pump escape. The LFB firemen, dressed in their traditional uniforms and helmets, turn out in formation on the station forecourt, ready for action. The AFS engine, with its distinctive red cross emblem, signifies the importance of community-based firefighting efforts during a time when the regular LFB was stretched thin. The combination of the LFB and AFS engines represents the collaborative spirit and preparation taking place in the pre-war years. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and readiness of the firefighters as they stood guard over their community, poised to respond to any emergency that may come their way.
