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 evocative photograph captures the historic Shooters Hill fire station, located at Old Police Station on Well Hall Road in London, in the early 1900s. The station, which opened in 1879 as a part of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), was originally a converted police station. The building's Edwardian architecture is on full display, with its red brick facade, ornate detailing, and tall, arched windows. At the time of this image, Shooters Hill fire station was one of the boundary stations of the London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, with its station grounds bordering the Kent Fire Brigade area. The station's significance is further highlighted by its status as a boundary station, marking the divide between different fire brigades in the rapidly expanding city. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade, which had been established in 1865, was later absorbed into the London County Council Fire Brigade in 1889. The LCC continued to operate the fire station until 1912, when a new Shooters Hill fire station was built by the LCC nearby. This photograph, taken around 1905, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and hard work of the firefighters who served at this important station during the Edwardian era.
