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 photo print, titled "Housing office, Holborn, London, 1946, interviewing applicants, mother and child" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to post-war Britain. The image showcases a poignant scene unfolding within the walls of the housing office in Holborn. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time by General from TopFoto's memory lane collection (pic221), we are transported to an era marked by resilience and hope. The photograph captures a mother and her child sitting patiently across from an interviewer at the housing office. Their expressions reveal a mix of anticipation and uncertainty as they await their turn for assistance in finding suitable accommodation amidst the challenges faced after World War II. This powerful visual encapsulates the struggles that countless families endured during this period. Through its grainy texture and striking composition, this image offers us a glimpse into the human stories behind historical events. It serves as a reminder of how essential institutions like housing offices played crucial roles in rebuilding communities shattered by war. General's skillful capture not only documents an important moment but also evokes empathy within viewers who can't help but wonder about these individuals' lives beyond that single frame. This print is undoubtedly more than just an archival piece; it is a testament to our collective history—a tangible connection between past generations and ours today.
