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 transports us back to the year 1938, capturing a moment in English rural life between the wars. The scene unfolds at the Fruit Farm in Swanley, Kent, where workers are busily demonstrating their expertise in packing fruit. In this monochrome snapshot of history, we see men and women diligently arranging crates and boxes filled with fresh produce on racks. Their hands move swiftly yet carefully as they handle each piece of fruit with precision. Amongst them stands a man wearing a flat cap, embodying the essence of hard work and dedication. The image not only showcases the laborious process of packaging fruits but also provides insight into the social dynamics of that era. It is evident that both men and women played integral roles in this industry, highlighting gender equality even during challenging times. Photographer John Topham skillfully captures this slice of life from 1930s England through his lens. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this bustling scene – from the neatly stacked crates to the focused expressions on each worker's face. As we gaze upon this photograph print from TopFoto, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in European agricultural history. This image serves as a reminder of our collective past and honors those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring nature's bounty into our homes.
