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
1. Title: "A Guardian of Tradition: A Metropolitan Police Officer in London, 1952" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the image of a dedicated Metropolitan Police officer standing his ground in the heart of London during the early 1950s. The officer's stern yet resolute expression, combined with his traditional uniform and iconic George V helmet, serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance and unwavering commitment of the British police force. The officer's uniform, adorned with various insignia and badges, speaks volumes about his role and the importance of upholding the law in this bustling metropolis. The George V helmet plate on his helmet, a symbol of the monarch's reign from 1910 to 1936, adds an extra layer of historical depth to the scene. This helmet, along with the distinctive bowler hat and long, double-breasted greatcoat, are all part of the iconic uniform that has been synonymous with the Metropolitan Police since its inception in 1829. The year 1952 marks a pivotal moment in British history, with the death of King George VI and the subsequent accession of Queen Elizabeth II. This photograph, taken just a few years after this significant event, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a police officer during a time of transition and change. The officer's unwavering presence and commitment to his duty serve as a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the British police force, both then and now. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of the Metropolitan Police in London. It invites us to reflect on the important role that police officers play in our communities, as well as the challenges and responsibilities they face in ensuring the safety and security of the public.
