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
This historic photograph captures the spirit of determination and defiance as a large group of ramblers, hikers, and ordinary people from all walks of life, march towards Kinder Scout in the Peak District of England on April 24, 1932. This mass trespass was a pivotal moment in the fight for public access to open countryside, as the ramblers intended to challenge the denial of access by gamekeepers and landowners. The scene portrays a sense of anticipation and tension, with some ramblers carrying sticks and others wearing protective clothing, indicating that they were prepared for potential confrontations. The rough terrain and inclement weather only add to the sense of challenge and adventure. The mass trespass was not without incident, as some participants ended up in violent scuffles with gamekeepers who attempted to prevent them from crossing the boundary onto the moorland. Despite the risks, the ramblers persevered, and their actions led to a significant shift in public opinion and ultimately, the establishment of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act in 1949, which enshrined the public's right to roam on open countryside in England and Wales. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for one's rights and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of ordinary people who came together to make a difference in the face of adversity.
