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 moment of arrival at Lambeth Workshops of a damaged NFS (London Region) fire engine, numbered 36 A 1, following extensive damage caused during a bombing raid in World War II. The Shoreditch fire station's pump escape, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, is seen here after being blasted by a bomb in 1942. The image offers a poignant reminder of the destructive impact of air raids on London during the war, and the unwavering commitment of the fire brigade to continue their essential work despite the danger. The 2nd World War was a pivotal period in the history of the London Fire Brigade, with firefighters facing numerous challenges as they worked tirelessly to protect homes and businesses from the devastating effects of bombing. This damaged engine, now a relic of that era, stands as a testament to their bravery and resilience. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, provides a powerful visual representation of the wartime transport and the damage inflicted upon it.
