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 titled "Traffic hold up Death Hill Farningham 1st August 1960" takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the essence of transportation challenges during that era. The image showcases a scene from Kent, England, where cars are seen forming long queues on the infamous Death Hill. It was taken as part of the renowned collection "Kent: A Chronicle of the Century 1950-74" which documents various aspects of life in this region. The photograph vividly portrays the frustration and inconvenience faced by motorists as they navigate through this treacherous road. With its steep incline and narrow lanes, Death Hill became notorious for causing traffic jams and delays. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness police officers attempting to manage the slow-moving vehicles while drivers patiently wait for their turn to proceed. Beyond being an intriguing visual record of transport challenges, this photo also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of infrastructure development and traffic management. It prompts us to reflect on our reliance on automobiles and appreciate modern advancements that have alleviated such congestion issues. As we delve into this remarkable piece from TopFoto's collection, it is impossible not to be captivated by the historical context it represents—transportation woes amidst changing times—and ponder upon how these experiences shaped our present-day commuting landscape.
