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 evocative photograph from the 1930s, a turnout of fire engines and vehicles from Lambeth Fire Brigade Headquarters (LFB) is depicted, ready for action against a backdrop of the iconic River Thames and the Houses of Parliament in London. The image, estimated to date from around 1937, showcases a significant moment in the history of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and its vital role in protecting the city. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with the fire engines and other vehicles lined up along the embankment, their red bodies gleaming in the sunlight. The engines, adorned with the distinctive LFB insignia, are a testament to the advanced technology and capabilities of the fire service during this period. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of cars and other traffic on the road, adding to the bustling energy of the city. In the distance, the River Thames flows calmly, its tranquil waters a stark contrast to the potential chaos that the fire brigade is poised to confront. The Houses of Parliament and the nearby Westminster Bridge are also visible, symbolizing the rich history and political significance of the location. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the operational procedures of the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s. It is a poignant reminder of the crucial role that firefighting services play in safeguarding communities and protecting the city's infrastructure.
