FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Old London Characters - Postman - A Timeless Figure in the Heart of the City
EDITORS COMMENTS
The image of an Old London Postman, captured in black and white, stands as a testament to the enduring charm of the British capital's rich history. Dressed in traditional attire, the postman wears a tall, peaked hat adorned with a red band and a brass bell dangling from his left hand. His expression is one of determination and focus, as he prepares to ring the bell and deliver the mail to yet another London address. The postman's bag slung over his shoulder is filled with letters and parcels, a symbol of the vital role he plays in the daily communication of the city. His tall hat and the ringing bell have become iconic symbols of the postal service in Old London, a tradition that dates back centuries. The image captures the essence of the postman as a beloved and essential character in the urban landscape. He is a figure of reliability and consistency, bringing news, letters, and parcels to the doors of Londoners, rain or shine. The postman's presence on the streets of Old London adds to the city's unique charm and character, making him an enduring symbol of the city's history and heritage.
