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 captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the bravery and resilience of London's firemen during World War II. Taken on the night of December 29th, 1940, in Ave Maria Lane, this image immortalizes the chaos and destruction caused by high explosive and incendiary bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe. In the midst of this devastating scene, we witness these courageous firefighters fearlessly tackling raging fires that threaten to consume everything in their path. With determination etched on their faces, they battle against towering flames as smoke billows around them. The intensity of their efforts is palpable as they wield hoses with precision and expertise. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit displayed by ordinary individuals thrust into extraordinary circumstances. It symbolizes not only their unwavering commitment to protect lives and property but also represents the collective strength exhibited by Londoners throughout "The Blitz". George Greenwell's masterful composition transports us back to a time when danger lurked at every corner, yet heroism flourished amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it compels us to reflect on our own capacity for courage in times of crisis. Let this print serve as an enduring tribute to those who selflessly risked everything for others during one of humanity's darkest chapters – a testament to both the horrors endured during war and the triumphs achieved through unity and resilience.
