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 print from 1940, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London during World War II. Two remarkable women can be seen touring the city in a mobile information van, dedicated to assisting and guiding visitors through the war-torn capital. Their vibrant smiles and confident demeanor reflect their unwavering commitment to serving others amidst challenging times. As they lean out of their vehicle's window, these compassionate ladies find themselves engaged in an important task - providing directions to Australian soldiers on leave in the city. With maps spread across their dashboard, they eagerly assist these brave servicemen who have traveled thousands of miles from home to fight for freedom. This image is a powerful testament not only to the resilience and resourcefulness of women during wartime but also highlights their significant contributions towards supporting the war effort. In an era when traditional gender roles were being challenged, these two trailblazing individuals exemplify how women stepped up into vital positions within society. Their dedication and hard work symbolize countless other unsung heroes who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes during World War II. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amid chaos and destruction, acts of kindness and compassion can prevail. Captured by an unknown photographer, this snapshot encapsulates a moment frozen in time - one that celebrates both the strength of human spirit and the unwavering determination exhibited by those working tirelessly for a better future.
