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
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, London Fire Brigade members of the London Salvage Corps are seen meticulously sheeting the exterior wall of a damaged warehouse following a devastating fire. The brick facade, marred by the aftermath of the blaze, is now covered with a series of salvage sheets. These sheets, which resemble large, heavy blankets, serve as an essential protective measure against the elements and further damage. The scene is one of diligent service and community response. Firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms, work together to carefully place each sheet over the damaged wall. The sheets are secured in place, creating a barrier that will shield the interior of the warehouse from rain, wind, and other harsh weather conditions. Among the salvaged items visible in the photograph are a piano, a carpet, and various pieces of furniture. These items, which may have been rescued from the burning building, are now protected from the elements as well. The salvage sheets not only serve a practical purpose but also provide a sense of hope and restoration, signaling that the affected building and its contents can be saved and preserved. The London Salvage Corps, an integral part of the London Fire Brigade, was responsible for mitigating the damage caused by fires and ensuring that salvageable items were protected. Their work was crucial in the aftermath of a fire, as it allowed for the recovery and restoration of both buildings and personal belongings. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the London Salvage Corps played in the community during the 1920s and beyond.
