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 photograph captures the essence of firefighting in the late 19th century as members of the London Fire Brigade operate a Merryweather horsed steam pump. The Merryweather pump, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, is drawn by a team of strong horses, its large wheels turning as steam hisses from its chimney. The firewomen, dressed in protective uniforms and helmets, work together to control the hoses and direct the powerful jet of water towards a blazing building in the background. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey the urgency and intensity of the situation. The scene is a testament to the physical strength, teamwork, and bravery required to combat fires during this era. The horses, too, play a crucial role in the firefighting process, their powerful muscles straining as they pull the heavy apparatus towards the fire. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when firefighting was a more manual and labor-intensive process.
