23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captures a moment in history as workers lay wooden paving in the iconic Trafalgar Square. The use of resinous heartwood, known for its exceptional durability, promises to withstand the constant foot traffic and noise from passing carriages. As pedestrians stroll along the newly laid wooden pavement, they find solace in the somewhat muted sounds of bustling city life. However, not everything was perfect with this innovative approach. Complaints arose regarding the wood's slipperiness during wet weather conditions. Despite this setback, it is evident that London's architectural visionaries were determined to create a unique and aesthetically pleasing environment for its citizens. In this snapshot from 1904, we witness an array of elements that make up Trafalgar Square's charm – towering lamp posts illuminating the scene at dusk, majestic trees providing shade and beauty against surrounding buildings made of bricks. Workers diligently go about their tasks with buckets and tools in hand while horses patiently wait nearby. Preserved by Archive London Squares, this historical image serves as a reminder of how urban landscapes evolve over time. It showcases both innovation and challenges faced by those responsible for shaping our cities into vibrant hubs where tradition meets progress.
