23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 spirit of community and resilience during wartime London, as members of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) band lead their contingent on a march through the streets of Lewisham, SE London, during the 1940s. The scene is set against the backdrop of World War II, with the date and location adding to the historical significance of the image. The firefighters, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their brass instruments, proudly display their musical talents as they parade through the streets. The band's presence not only adds a sense of celebration to the occasion but also serves as a morale booster for the local community, who gather to show their support. The LFB auxiliary firemen, who were volunteers, are seen marching in formation behind the band. The photograph provides a unique insight into the wartime spirit of London and the important role that music and community played in maintaining morale during challenging times. The LCC-LFB band's performance serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of the firefighters during the war, who put their lives on the line to protect their communities from the devastating effects of air raids and fires.
