31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 rich history of firefighting in Clapham, London, with a vintage LFDCA-LFB fire engine from the Middlesex Fire Brigade era on display at the fire station. The absorption of Middlesex Fire Brigade into the enlarged London Fire Brigade in 1965 marked the end of an era, but the legacy of these historic appliances lives on. The Dennis dual-purpose appliance in this image was carefully restored by dedicated fire service enthusiasts and has since been used in various displays and open days, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The vehicle, adorned with its red and grey livery, stands proudly to the right of Clapham's modern-day pump, showcasing a striking contrast between old and new. Middlesex Fire Brigade's pump escape, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, was designed to provide a quick escape route for firefighters during emergencies. This appliance, with its ladder and escape capabilities, is a testament to the innovation and resourcefulness of firefighters throughout history. The 1990s, a time of nostalgia and heritage, saw a renewed interest in preserving the history of firefighting. This photograph, taken in the early 1990s, encapsulates the spirit of that era, reminding us of the importance of preserving the past while embracing the future. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to maintaining the legacy of these historic appliances is a testament to their dedication to firefighting history and tradition.
