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
This print takes us back to a moment frozen in time - the Daily Mirror editorial floor during a power cut on December 9th, 1970. The image showcases the bustling chaos that ensues when darkness engulfs an industry heavily reliant on electricity. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of determined journalists huddled together amidst dimly lit desks, their faces illuminated by candlelight. The atmosphere is palpable with tension and urgency as they navigate through the crisis at hand. Despite the lack of modern conveniences, these dedicated men continue to work tirelessly to bring news to the masses. The scene captures not only the resilience of those working in journalism but also serves as a reminder of how industries can be brought to their knees by unforeseen circumstances. It symbolizes an era where power cuts were more common occurrences and highlights the challenges faced by professionals who relied on electricity for their daily operations. Charlie Ley's expert composition transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the struggles and triumphs experienced within newspaper offices during this period. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to human perseverance in times of adversity and offers viewers a glimpse into London's journalistic past.
