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.

Home Front 1940 - A Glimpse into the Devastation of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures a haunting scene from the home front during World War II. The residential area in Bexleyheath, South London, bears the heavy scars inflicted by a merciless night raid carried out by German bombers. As one's gaze wanders across the image, signs of destruction are evident everywhere. In the lower left corner, an Anderson shelter stands as a symbol of resilience amidst chaos. This makeshift refuge was designed to protect families from air raids, but even its presence couldn't shield this community entirely from harm. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to the photograph, emphasizing both despair and hope that coexist in times of war. The once vibrant gardens now lay in ruins alongside damaged homes and houses; remnants of shattered lives scattered across what was once a peaceful suburb. This snapshot serves as a stark reminder of Britain's unwavering determination to defend itself against enemy attacks. It encapsulates the spirit of those who endured unimaginable hardships on their own doorsteps while fighting for freedom. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by TopFoto. co. uk, let us remember not only the physical damage inflicted upon these communities but also pay tribute to those who bravely stood together during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War II.
