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
In this print by Bela Zola, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in the 1940s. Standing proudly on the Embankment, a group of London sewermen can be seen gathered around the impressive bust of Joseph Bazalgette. This iconic image pays homage to the man who revolutionized sanitation in the city. Joseph Bazalgette, an esteemed engineer, is widely regarded as the mastermind behind London's sewer system. His visionary designs transformed a once unsanitary and disease-ridden capital into a modern metropolis with efficient waste management. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that these men share a deep admiration for their industry pioneer. The camaraderie among these sewermen is palpable; their rugged appearance and determined expressions speak volumes about their dedication to keeping London clean and safe. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder beside Bazalgette's likeness, embodying his legacy through their tireless work underground. April 1st, 1947 marks an important date captured within this snapshot – a testament to both historical significance and personal pride for those depicted. Bela Zola skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an era defined by progress and innovation. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder that heroes come in many forms; sometimes they wear overalls instead of capes. It immortalizes these unsung heroes whose efforts continue to shape our cities today - reminding
