FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to June 1948 at Stopham Bridge in West Sussex. The image captures a pivotal moment as three skilled labourers diligently repair the stonework of the bridge, showcasing their craft and trade with utmost precision. The workman, a seasoned bricklayer, can be seen meticulously mending the worn-out wall while his companions assist him in moving materials using an old-fashioned wheelbarrow. Their dedication and expertise shine through as they navigate their way around the intricate structure, ensuring every stone is perfectly placed. This snapshot not only immortalizes a significant moment in time but also serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who played an essential role in maintaining vital infrastructure. It reminds us of their invaluable contribution towards preserving historical landmarks for future generations to admire. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N30086, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into our past and highlights the importance of cherishing our heritage. As we marvel at these unsung heroes' craftsmanship and determination, let us appreciate their efforts that often go unnoticed behind such magnificent structures like Stopham Bridge - standing tall thanks to these dedicated workers who built it brick by brick.
