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 black-and-white photograph from the late 1960s, a group of dedicated typists can be seen intently focused on their work at the Typing Pool. The scene exudes an air of productivity and efficiency as the women, dressed in modest blouses and pencil skirts, deftly maneuver their electric typewriters, their fingers dancing across the keys in a rhythmic ballet of communication. The Typing Pool was an essential component of any business office during this era, serving as the backbone of administrative support. With the advent of electric typewriters, the typing process became faster and more precise, enabling these women to produce large volumes of documents with remarkable accuracy. The photograph captures a moment in time when technology was transforming the way we worked, making office tasks more streamlined and efficient. The typists' unwavering concentration and commitment to their craft underscored the importance of their role in the business world. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era, a time when the hum of electric typewriters filled the air, and the clatter of keys echoed through the halls of commerce. The typists, lost in their work, serve as a reminder of the dedication and skill required to keep the wheels of industry turning. This photograph is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring impact of technology on our daily lives.
