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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of community defense during World War II in the quaint English village of Worton, Wiltshire. Circa 1941, civilian fire fighters proudly stand next to their trailer fire engine, ready to protect their homes and loved ones from the threat of fire. The men, dressed in their distinctive World War II fire fighter uniforms, exude a sense of determination and resolve. The fire engine, adorned with the 2nd Fire Fighters insignia, is a testament to the vital role these volunteers played in the war effort, as professional fire services were often stretched thin during this period. The tranquil village scene is a stark contrast to the global conflict raging beyond its borders, highlighting the importance of local resilience and unity in times of crisis. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during wartime, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
