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
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and experience the marvel of modern transportation! Witness the thrill and amusement of London's newest attraction: Up and Down the Escalator. This illustration, hailing from the annals of history in 1911, showcases the very first escalators ever installed on the underground between the District and Piccadilly line platforms at Earls Court station. At the time, these innovative contraptions provided great entertainment for the 21st century passengers using them. The illustration, published in the Illustrated London News on October 7, 1911, captures the excitement and curiosity of the public as they navigate the new escalators. The decipherable date and source information on the image, which is imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, add to its historical significance. Before the advent of escalators, passengers on the London Underground had to navigate the steep stairs between platforms. The installation of these moving staircases revolutionized the commuting experience, making travel between lines more accessible and efficient. The passengers in this illustration appear to be in awe of the new technology, with some even taking a seat on the steps to enjoy the ride. This fascinating glimpse into the past offers a unique perspective on the early days of escalator travel and the excitement it brought to Londoners. Up and Down the Escalator stands as a testament to the ingenuity and progress that characterized the early 20th century.
