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 print titled "The High Street is their classroom" we are transported back to the morning of May 25,1955. The image captures a unique moment in time when the Boys Country Secondary School of Edenbridge, Kent, took their art class outside the confines of their traditional classroom. As we gaze at the picture, we see a group of schoolboys eagerly engaged in their studies on location. With sketchbooks and pencils in hand, they sit on the pavement along the bustling High Street. Surrounded by quaint shops and passersby going about their daily routines, these young learners find inspiration amidst everyday life. This snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of education - an exploration that extends beyond textbooks and four walls. It reminds us that learning can happen anywhere if one has an open mind and a thirst for knowledge. The boys' focus is palpable as they diligently work on honing their artistic skills under the watchful eye of their teacher. They immerse themselves in capturing scenes from urban life with precision and creativity. "The High Street is their classroom" serves as a timeless reminder that education knows no boundaries or limitations.
