23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Westbourne Conduit at Sloane Square Tube Station (1909) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the unique engineering feat that lies beneath the surface of Sloane Square tube station in London. Taken in 1909, the image reveals the Westbourne Conduit, a hidden waterway that plays a crucial role in managing the overflow from the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park. The Serpentine, a popular and picturesque body of water in the heart of London, is an essential component of the city's rich history. During heavy rainfall, the lake's water level rises, and the excess water is diverted through the Westbourne Conduit. This ingenious system was designed to prevent flooding in the station and protect the underground infrastructure from water damage. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate network of pipes and conduits that lies beneath the city's streets. The Westbourne Conduit is visible as a narrow, dark channel running above the platforms, with water gently flowing through it. The station's tiled walls and wrought-iron structures add to the industrial charm of the scene, while the dimly lit environment creates an intriguing atmosphere. The image also highlights the remarkable engineering prowess of the early 20th century, as the Westbourne Conduit was constructed during the expansion of the London Underground network. The successful implementation of such a complex system demonstrates the ingenuity and innovation of the engineers and architects who designed and built the tube system. In summary, this photograph of the Westbourne Conduit at Sloane Square tube station in 1909 is a captivating reminder of the hidden infrastructure that supports London's transportation system and the city's iconic waterways. It showcases the engineering marvels of the past and the harmonious relationship between the city's above-ground and below-ground worlds.
