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 photograph, hailing from the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past of traffic law enforcement in Britain. Three dedicated officers, committed to ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians, work together to catch speeding motorists in this intriguing image from Mary Evans Prints Online. The uniformed officer, standing proudly in the foreground, exudes authority and professionalism. He holds a sign that reads "20 M.P.H.", a reminder of the maximum speed limit at the time. His presence serves as a visible deterrent to those who might be tempted to exceed the speed limit. But the real action happens behind him. Two plainclothes policemen, blending in with the crowd, work in tandem to catch the offenders. One of them holds a pipe in his hand, perhaps to disguise himself further, while the other clutches a stopwatch. Together, they time the vehicles as they pass by, ready to pounce when a speeding motorist is identified. This historical photograph not only showcases the dedication and teamwork of the traffic police during the 1900s but also highlights the evolution of law enforcement tactics. The use of stopwatches was a novel approach to enforcing speed limits, and it underscores the innovative spirit of the officers of that era. As we marvel at the technological advancements and changes in law enforcement over the decades, this photograph serves as a reminder of the unwavering commitment of the men and women in uniform to keep our roads safe. It's a fascinating glimpse into the past that continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
