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 titled "Heavier lorries would fast break up the road surfaces and make old bridges obsolete" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured in 1961, it showcases an extraordinary scene in Eynsford, Kent. A convoy of robust lorries can be seen traversing through this quaint village, carrying precious cargo of spring wheat seed destined for France. The image highlights the immense impact that these heavy vehicles had on infrastructure during that era. The caption reminds us of the potential consequences as these lorries thundered along the roads, posing a threat to delicate road surfaces and rendering old bridges obsolete. It serves as a testament to how transportation needs evolve over time and how progress often demands adaptation. The picturesque bridge featured in the background adds an element of nostalgia to this snapshot from yesteryears. Its architectural charm stands juxtaposed against the modernity represented by these powerful machines. This photograph not only captures a specific moment but also symbolizes broader societal changes occurring at that time. Through this remarkable visual documentation by General (the photographer), we are transported back to an era when commerce relied heavily on such means of transport. It invites contemplation about technological advancements since then while reminding us of our responsibility towards preserving historical landmarks amidst progress's relentless march forward.
