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 poignant print from The Northcliffe Collection captures a powerful moment in history during the height of World War II. It showcases the unwavering resilience and determination of both clergy and congregation amidst the devastating aftermath of an air raid on St Georges Cathedral, Southwark in 1941. Despite the visible damage to the church's structure, this snapshot reveals that faith knows no bounds. The work of the dedicated clergy continues undeterred as they gather their flock for a service amidst the ruins. With heads held high, congregants stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity within the aisles below a makeshift altar. The image serves as a testament to human strength and perseverance in times of adversity. It symbolizes how even in moments when hope seems lost, people can find solace and unity through their shared beliefs. London's Southwark district bore witness to numerous air raids during The Blitz, yet this photograph encapsulates not only its physical destruction but also highlights its spiritual endurance. It stands as a reminder that cathedrals are more than just architectural marvels; they serve as beacons of hope and pillars of support for communities facing unimaginable challenges. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those who faced such hardships with courage and resilience. May it inspire us all to find strength within ourselves during our own trials and tribulations.
