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 in time to the late 1930s or early 1940s, capturing a smalltown street scene in the Sevenoaks area of Kent. The focal point of the image is a man on horseback, standing proudly in front of a charming grocer's shop. The shopfront is adorned with various advertisements and signs, giving us a glimpse into the products and services available at that time. Prominently displayed are signs for T. H. Knight, a draper and grocer, as well as Messers Cronk Chartered Surveyors located at 138 High Street. Other notable ads include Brooke Bond Tea, Colmans Blue (presumably laundry detergent), Leons Coffee and Chicory Extract, Leons Tea, Robin Starch for dainty linen, Spratts Dog Cakes - catering to our furry friends' needs. Adding to the nostalgic atmosphere are additional posters showcasing entertainment options such as Simone Simon starring film "Love and Hisses" playing at Plaza Super Cinema. We also catch sight of an Otford Automobile Association sign nearby. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this era – simple yet bustling with activity. It transports us back to a time when horses were still used for transportation and local shops played an integral role in community life. A true gem from twentieth-century Europeana photography preserved by TopFoto. co. uk
