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
In this photo print, taken on the 20th of October 1950 in Seal, Kent, we are transported back in time to witness a job that could certainly benefit from some modern speed. The image showcases a group of hardworking men diligently painting white lines and dashes on the roads with paintpots in hand. The scene captures the essence of an era where progress was measured by manual labor rather than technological advancements. As we gaze at these workers meticulously applying their craft, it becomes evident that the march of time has been rather slow in this particular aspect. The quaint village of Seal serves as a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot frozen in history. Its peaceful streets provide the canvas upon which these dedicated individuals leave their mark, ensuring safe passage for countless vehicles yet to come. This photograph reminds us of how far we have come since those days when road markings were painstakingly created by hand. It invites contemplation about the rapid pace at which technology has transformed our world today. As we admire this vintage image captured by Topography, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect upon how innovation continues to shape our lives and improve efficiency across various industries.
