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 powerful image captures the intensity and physical demands of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) strength test during the recruitment process. Firefighting is a noble and essential service that requires not only courage and quick thinking but also significant strength and endurance. In this test, every recruit is challenged to carry a man of approximately his own weight 100 yards in just one minute. The man is often a fellow recruit or a trainer, dressed in full firefighting gear to add extra weight and authenticity to the exercise. The test is a crucial part of the recruitment process, ensuring that each new firefighter is physically capable of performing the demanding tasks required in the line of duty. The image showcases the determination and grit of the recruits as they focus on completing the challenge within the given time frame. The uniforms and equipment add to the historical significance of the moment, reminding us of the long and proud tradition of firefighting in London and beyond. This test is just one of many challenges that recruits face during their training, preparing them for the real-life situations they may encounter as firefighters.
