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 captured by John Downing in May 1983, we witness a heartwarming moment between the iconic British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a toddler during her visit to a Bristol community centre. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of Thatcher's political career while showcasing her softer side. As one of the most influential figures in 20th-century politics, Margaret Thatcher was known for her conservative ideals and strong leadership as the leader of the Tory party. However, this photograph offers an intimate glimpse into her compassionate nature beyond the realm of politics. Thatcher's radiant smile mirrors that of the curious toddler she holds in her arms, symbolizing hope and unity within communities. It highlights her commitment to engaging with people from all walks of life, regardless of their age or background. The setting itself speaks volumes about Thatcher's dedication to grassroots initiatives. Visiting a community center demonstrates her genuine interest in understanding local issues firsthand and connecting with ordinary citizens on a personal level. John Downing's expert photography captures not only this precious interaction but also preserves an important moment in history. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst political debates and policy-making, leaders are still human beings capable of empathy and compassion towards those they serve. For admirers or historians alike, this remarkable image is both visually striking and emotionally resonant—a timeless testament to Margaret Thatcher's multifaceted legacy beyond just being Britain’s first female prime minister.
