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
In this photograph from 1926, we find ourselves transported back in time to the North Downs of Kent, a picturesque region in the south of England renowned for its rolling hills and scenic beauty. The image captures a moment of excitement and adventure on the winding roads of this idyllic landscape, as two vintage automobiles skillfully navigate a sharp bend. The North Downs, a chalk escarpment stretching from Farnham in Surrey to Dover in Kent, have long been a popular destination for motorists seeking a thrilling drive through the English countryside. In this photograph, we can see why: the twisting roads, framed by the lush greenery of the hills, offer a sense of freedom and exhilaration that continues to draw motorists to this day. The year is 1926, and the automobiles in the photograph are emblematic of the Roaring Twenties, an era of prosperity, innovation, and rebellion. The sleek lines and powerful engines of these vehicles speak to the spirit of the times, a time when the open road beckoned to those with the means and the courage to explore it. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the roar of the engines, feel the wind in our hair, and experience the thrill of overtaking on a bend in the North Downs of Kent. It is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of a bygone era that continues to capture the imagination and inspire a sense of wanderlust in us all. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the open road and the sense of freedom it offers. It is a reminder that, no matter how much the world changes, there will always be those who seek to explore the unknown, to push the limits of what is possible, and to experience the thrill of the journey.
