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 evocative photograph captures the exterior of Peppercorns Off Licence, located at 228 Alexandra Avenue in Rayners Lane, South Harrow, in June 1934. The shop, with its simple signage and ornate wooden door, was a staple of the local trading community during the 1930s. The term "off licence" refers to a shop that sells alcohol for consumption off the premises, making this establishment an essential stop for residents seeking refreshments. The name "Peppercorns" adds a touch of intrigue and exoticism, perhaps reflecting the diverse range of goods sold within. Over the years, the shop underwent several transformations. In the decades following this photograph, it became known as Fosters before eventually being absorbed into the well-known chain, Peter Dominic. However, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the character and charm of a bygone era in South Harrow's commercial history. The photograph's composition draws the viewer's attention to the intricate details of the shopfront, from the textured woodwork to the elegant typography of the sign. The muted tones and soft focus lend a nostalgic and timeless quality to the scene, transporting us back to a moment in history when life moved at a slower pace. This photograph is an invaluable record of the rich and varied history of local trade in South Harrow, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of our urban landscapes.
