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
In this evocative image from the 1920s, London Salvage Corps members are seen working diligently to mitigate the damage caused by a devastating fire. Financed by insurance companies, the London Salvage Corps was an essential yet distinct entity from the London Fire Brigade. Although they did not formally belong to the Brigade, they operated in close collaboration with them, particularly during large-scale and serious fires. The London Salvage Corps' primary role was to protect properties from further damage caused by heat, smoke, and water. In this photograph, firemen can be seen meticulously laying out salvage sheets to shield the surrounding buildings from the destructive elements. The use of ladders and the presence of firemen in protective gear underscores the dangerous nature of their work. The London Fire Brigade, which can be observed in the background, is busy extinguishing the flames. The collaboration between these two entities was crucial in minimizing the overall damage caused by fires in London during this era. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of significant social, cultural, and economic change. This photograph provides a poignant reminder of the vital role that the London Salvage Corps played in protecting London's properties and communities during times of crisis. This evocative image, captured in black and white, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the courage and dedication of the London Fire Brigade and the London Salvage Corps were instrumental in safeguarding London's urban landscape.
