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.

This print from Mary Evans Prints Online takes us back in time to the bustling Mail Sorting Office of the General Post Office in Britain. In this snapshot of history, we see postal workers diligently sorting mail into pigeon holes by hand, a task that required precision and efficiency. The scene is filled with a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when communication was slower but no less important.
The image captures the essence of a time when postal workers were at the heart of our communications network, ensuring that letters and parcels reached their destinations in a timely manner. The rows of pigeon holes stand as a testament to the sheer volume of mail that passed through these offices each day, highlighting the dedication and hard work of these unsung heroes.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the vital role that postal workers played in connecting people across distances and bridging gaps between communities. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also evoking a sense of appreciation for those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our world running smoothly.
Overall, this print is not just an image frozen in time but a window into an era where manual labor was king and communication relied on human touch. It is a piece worth cherishing for its historical significance and timeless appeal.
