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 captures the bustling building work on the Swanley Bridge in Kent during 1938. The image showcases a significant infrastructure project taking place between the wars, symbolizing progress and modernization of the era. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a team of dedicated builders working tirelessly to widen the old bridge, transforming it into a more robust structure capable of accommodating increased traffic demands. The sight is filled with an array of metal beams and cranes that dominate the skyline, emphasizing both the scale and complexity of this engineering feat. The photograph not only serves as a historical record but also evokes admiration for these hardworking individuals who labored under challenging conditions to bring about positive change in their community. Amongst them, workers can be seen maneuvering trucks laden with construction materials while others operate towering cranes with precision. John Topham's expert composition highlights every detail within this scene; each worker's determined expression tells its own story amidst their collective efforts. This monochrome masterpiece encapsulates an important moment in time when innovation met necessity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography, we are reminded of how infrastructure projects like these shape our world and stand as testaments to human ingenuity throughout history.
