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.

Wartime Preparations at the Dental Hospital in Newcastle - A Glimpse into Life on the Home Front
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 1930s, specifically August 31st, 1939, when tensions were rising and war was looming over Europe. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a very different kind of drill taking place at the Dental Hospital in Newcastle. As dental students gather together, their white coats contrasting against the backdrop of sandbags piled high around them, it becomes evident that they are not preparing for routine procedures. Instead, these young men and women are actively participating in wartime preparations by filling sandbags to fortify their surroundings against potential air raids. The image captures both determination and unity as these future dentists work diligently side by side. Their faces reflect a mix of seriousness and resilience; they understand the gravity of their task. With each bag filled with sand, they contribute to building a protective shield for themselves and those seeking refuge within this hospital turned air raid shelter. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals willingly stepped up during times of crisis. It showcases the unwavering spirit displayed by countless people on the home front during World War II – whether it be soldiers or civilians like these aspiring dentists who found themselves thrust into unexpected roles. Preserved through time thanks to NCJ's lensmanship, this historical moment encapsulates an era where construction efforts went beyond buildings alone; they extended towards safeguarding lives
