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 print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the year 1750 in London, where a brave fireman stands proudly beside his engine. Dressed in the distinctive uniform of the Hand-in-hand insurance company, this dedicated firefighter is ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.
In an era before public fire departments existed, insurance companies like Hand-in-hand would employ their own teams of firefighters to protect their clients' properties from devastating fires. These early firefighters were not only tasked with extinguishing flames but also with preventing them from spreading and causing further damage.
The image captures a pivotal moment in history when firefighting was still in its infancy and accidents caused by fires were all too common. The sight of this lone fireman standing tall next to his engine serves as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice required to combat such dangerous disasters.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when these unsung heroes risked their lives daily to protect their communities. This print is not just a historical artifact but a tribute to the bravery and dedication of those who fought tirelessly against the ravages of fire in 18th-century London.
