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 historic LCC-MFB Hackney Fire Station, located at 2-2A Bodney Road in East London, in the late 1800s. Built by the Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW), the forerunner of the London County Council, for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) in the 1870s, this fire station served the community of Hackney for several decades. The Victorian-era building, with its red brick facade and large, ornate windows, exudes a sense of authority and reliability. The MFB, which preceded the London Fire Brigade, was established in 1865 to provide a more effective response to fires in the rapidly growing city of London. This station in Hackney was one of many built by the MBW to house the firefighting equipment and personnel necessary to protect the local population. Sadly, this historic fire station was closed in 1914 and demolished to make way for a new fire station, which in turn was closed in 1920 and not replaced. Today, the site where this once proud building stood is a reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the important role that the MFB and later the London Fire Brigade have played in protecting the city and its people. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of firefighting services in London during the late 1800s.
