31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Mr B F Harris, a dedicated worker of the London Underground, takes on his nightly inspection duties with an extraordinary mode of transportation. In this print captured by Bela Zola in August 1949, we witness Mr Harris atop a specially constructed cycle designed for navigating the intricate tracks beneath the bustling city. With chalk farm as his starting point, Mr Harris fearlessly pedals through the inner boroughs of London, ensuring that every inch of the underground railway is in impeccable condition. His commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient transport system shines through his beaming smile as he effortlessly maneuvers along the track. This unique glimpse into Mr Harris's unusual work routine showcases both innovation and dedication. As posters line the tunnel walls around him, it becomes evident that this tireless inspector plays a vital role in keeping London's tube running smoothly. Bela Zola's masterful composition captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of this remarkable individual. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era when men like Mr B F Harris took immense pride in their jobs and went above and beyond to fulfill their responsibilities. As we admire this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, let us celebrate those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure our daily commutes were seamless and secure.
