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: "A Glimpse of Old Scotland Yard and Boudicca: A Historical Tableau on the Thames Embankment, London, 1909" 2. In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we are transported back in time to the Thames Embankment in London during the early 20th century. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its intriguing blend of historical landmarks, architectural wonders, and emerging transportation technologies. 3. At the heart of the scene lies Old Scotland Yard, the iconic headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service. Established in 1829, Scotland Yard has long been synonymous with law enforcement in London. In this photograph, we see the imposing building, adorned with its distinctive crest, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Thames. 4. Just a stone's throw away from Old Scotland Yard, the Boudicca Statue graces the embankment. Sculpted by Thomas Thornycroft in 1850, the statue commemorates the legendary Queen of the Iceni, Boudicca, who led an uprising against the Roman occupation of Britain in AD 60-61. The statue is a powerful reminder of the rich history and resilience of the British people. 5. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity along the Thames. Trams, a relatively new mode of transportation, can be seen traversing the streets, while the iconic Hungerford Bridge and the grand Cecil Hotel add to the vibrant urban landscape. 6. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of London's history and its ability to seamlessly blend the old with the new. It invites us to explore the stories that lie hidden within the city's architectural gems and to appreciate the evolution of transportation over the centuries. 7. This photograph, captured in October 1909, offers a captivating glimpse into London's past and serves as a reminder of the city's rich historical legacy. The Old Scotland Yard and Boudicca Statue continue to stand as symbols of London's proud history and its unwavering spirit.
