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.

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 Thames floods" we are transported back to the dramatic events that unfolded on February 2nd, 1953. Poultry farmers in the picturesque Thames area of Kent found themselves facing a daunting challenge as floodwaters surged through their land. With unwavering determination, these resilient farmers took to rowboats to rescue their valuable stock. As our eyes wander across the image, we witness an extraordinary sight - birds perched high up in trees seeking refuge from the rising waters. It is a testament to nature's ability to adapt and survive even in the face of adversity. The contrast between the tranquil riverbanks and the chaotic flooding creates a sense of awe and disbelief. This photograph by General captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of human resilience amidst natural disasters. The weathered boat symbolizes hope and unity as it becomes both a vessel for survival and an emblem of strength against Mother Nature's fury. Decades may have passed since that fateful day, but this powerful image continues to evoke emotions within us all. It reminds us of our vulnerability while showcasing humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with overwhelming challenges. Let it serve as inspiration for generations to come – proof that even during our darkest hours, there is always light at the end of the stormy tunnel.
