23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 dedication and bravery of the Volunteer Fire Brigade in action during the early 1900s. The scene showcases a team of firefighters from the London Fire Brigade, ready to tackle a blaze with their horse-drawn appliances. In the foreground, a horse-drawn steamer, with its distinctive tall chimney stack, hisses and steams, ready to pump out water. Nearby, a horse-drawn manual pump is being cranked by two firemen, providing additional water pressure to extinguish the flames. A horse-drawn escape ladder, with its rungs folded away, stands at the ready, while a hand-wheeled escape ladder lies next to it. These ladders were essential for rescuing people from burning buildings. A hose cart, filled with coils of hose, sits nearby, providing the firefighters with a versatile tool for reaching distant fires or extinguishing smaller blazes. The horses, strong and steady, pull the appliances with determination, their powerful muscles straining against the harnesses. Firemen in their Edwardian uniforms, complete with helmets and leather aprons, work together to connect hoses, man the pumps, and direct the water flow. The scene is a testament to the selfless service of these volunteers, who put their lives on the line to protect their communities from the destructive power of fire. This photograph, taken in 1902, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional methods and vehicles used by the London Fire Brigade during the Edwardian era. The horse-drawn appliances, with their intricate details and historical significance, continue to captivate us and remind us of the courage and determination of the firefighters who came before us.
