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
This print takes us back to the year 1920, offering a glimpse into the Medical Fund Dispensary Waiting Room located on Milton Road. The image immediately draws our attention to an interesting aspect of that era - gender segregation. As we observe closely, we can discern separate seating areas for men and women within this waiting room. The Medical Fund Society in Milton Road was a remarkable establishment built in 1892, serving as a hub for various medical services. It offered not only a dispensary but also swimming baths, Turkish and Russian Baths, as well as dental care facilities. This multipurpose facility catered to the diverse healthcare needs of the village of Swindon during that time. Stepping into this waiting room through this photograph allows us to imagine what it must have been like for patients eagerly awaiting their turn for treatment or consultation with the chemist or dentist. The atmosphere is one of anticipation mixed with apprehension, as individuals from different walks of life gather together in search of relief from ailments or simply routine check-ups. This print serves as a valuable historical document capturing an important moment in time at the Medical Fund Dispensary Waiting Room on Milton Road. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon how medical practices have evolved over the years while reminding us of societal norms prevalent during that era – such as gender segregation within public spaces like waiting rooms.
