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 takes us back to the 1930s, a time between the wars when an old mill in Plumstead Common found new purpose as an Inn. The image captures Mr T Fossam and Mr Copelin engaged in a friendly game of billiards, surrounded by the rustic charm of their surroundings. It is March 29th, 1939, and these men are fully immersed in their cue action, skillfully maneuvering the pool balls on the worn-out green table. The atmosphere inside this European pub is palpable; thick smoke fills the air as both players enjoy a well-deserved cigarette break. The monochrome tones add depth to this scene frozen in time, emphasizing every detail from the rough wooden beams above to the intricate patterns on their waistcoats below. John Topham's photography beautifully captures not only a moment but also an era that witnessed great change and resilience. This photograph serves as a testament to how places like this old mill were repurposed during difficult times - transforming into vibrant social hubs where people could gather for leisurely activities such as billiards. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of our shared history and how even amidst adversity, communities find ways to adapt and thrive.
