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, taken on March 1st, 1933, captures the image of a determined newspaper seller in the heart of Britain's bustling streets during an era of political turmoil and uncertainty. Dressed in a flat cap and overcoat, the man exudes a sense of resilience as he stands next to his modest stall, surrounded by an array of newspapers with headlines that reflect the tense global climate of the time. The headlines of The Times, prominently displayed on the table, reveal the pressing issues of the day: "The Arms Embargo - Geneva Comment" and "Dictatorship in Germany." These topics underscore the geopolitical tensions that were escalating across Europe, with the League of Nations attempting to impose an arms embargo on certain countries and Adolf Hitler consolidating power in Germany. The newspaper seller's appearance, with his worn cloth coat and the protective covering over his head, speaks to the working-class roots of this essential occupation. His role as a news vendor was not only a means of earning a living but also a vital link in the chain of communication, connecting the public to the latest developments in the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when news was delivered in a more tactile and personal way, and the exchange between the seller and the buyer was a daily ritual. The image stands as a testament to the enduring power of the press, even in the face of adversity, and serves as a reminder of the importance of staying informed in an ever-changing world.
