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 photograph showcases a Manual Fire-Engine, constructed by Merryweathers in the year 1885. The engine, a significant piece of firefighting history, was specifically designed for the use of factory fire brigades. Weighing in at a relatively light weight, this fire engine was an essential addition to the factories of the late 19th century, providing quick and effective response to fires that could break out in the industrial workplaces. The engine's pattern is a testament to the technological advancements of the time, with its intricate design showcasing a blend of functionality and aesthetics. The Factory Pattern Manual Fire-Engine was a remarkable engineering feat, featuring a manual pump, poles for raising and lowering the ladder, and wheels for easy maneuverability. The historical significance of this Manual Fire-Engine is evident in its construction, which reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the engineers and firefighters of the era. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the threat of fire was a constant concern in the factories, and fire brigades played a crucial role in minimizing the damage and saving lives. The Manual Fire-Engine, with its distinctive red color and bold lettering, stands as a symbol of the courage and determination of the firefighters who operated it. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when firefighting was a manual and labor-intensive process, and every fire engine was a valuable asset in the fight against fires. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a tribute to the unsung heroes of the fire brigade, who put their lives on the line to keep factories and communities safe.
