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 evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Emlyn Square in the heart of Swindon's Railway Village in 1929. At the corner of Emlyn Square and London Street, W.J. Knee's newsagent shop stands proudly, a beacon of community and connection in this bustling area. The photograph reveals a vibrant and lively atmosphere, with people of all ages and backgrounds milling about, engaged in conversation or tending to their errands. The newsagent shop, with its inviting display of newspapers, magazines, and other goods, serves as a focal point for the community. W.J. Knee, the newsagent himself, can be seen in the foreground, wearing a smartly pressed shirt and a friendly expression as he assists a customer. The architecture of the buildings surrounding the square adds to the sense of history and tradition. The red brick facades, adorned with ornate details and intricate patterns, evoke a sense of stability and permanence. The presence of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in Swindon is also evident, with the railway arches and tracks visible in the background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community life was centered around local shops like W.J. Knee's newsagent. It serves as a reminder of the important role that small businesses played in creating a sense of belonging and connection within neighborhoods, and the enduring impact they continue to have on our towns and cities today.
