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
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a scene from early 20th century Britain, showcasing the bustling underground transport system in London. The image depicts a group of straphangers standing on the crowded rail car, with not enough seats to accommodate everyone. In order to provide convenience for those standing, straps are thoughtfully provided throughout the carriage.
The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of the popularity and necessity of London's underground system during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how essential public transportation has always been in major cities, allowing people to move efficiently and quickly throughout urban areas.
The term "straphangers" is fittingly used to describe these commuters who cling onto the hanging straps for support as they navigate their way through the city. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life in early 20th century London, highlighting both the challenges and conveniences that came with using public transportation.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of London's underground history but also a testament to the resilience and adaptability of city dwellers who have long relied on such modes of transport to get around.
