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 1975, we are transported back to a time when environmental consciousness was beginning to take root. The show ground, usually marred by litter and debris, is surprisingly tidy thanks to the efforts of a group of young boys known as the Keep Britain Tidy boys. These three teenagers from Quarry Bank School - David Lucas, Leslie Rice, and David Moore - can be seen diligently collecting rubbish as it falls. Their presence at the show ground signifies a shift in attitudes towards littering and highlights the importance of taking care of our environment. As they work together, their friendships are strengthened through their shared mission to keep their surroundings clean. This image captures not only a moment in time but also an important message about responsibility and respect for our natural spaces. It serves as a reminder that even small actions can make a significant impact on creating a cleaner world for future generations. As we reflect on this photograph from decades ago, let us be inspired by these teenage pioneers who were ahead of their time in recognizing the value of keeping our environment tidy. Their dedication serves as an enduring example for all those who strive to preserve and protect our planet today.
