C18th Architecture Country House Estate Palladian
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 captures the majestic East front of the central block at Houghton Hall, as seen in 'The English Country House'. The photograph, taken by an anonymous 20th-century English photographer, showcases the remarkable architecture of this historic country house estate. Houghton Hall was commissioned by Sir Robert Walpole and designed by renowned architects Colen Campbell and James Gibbs. The interiors were crafted by William Kent, adding to its grandeur. Construction on this magnificent structure began in 1722, with corner domes later added between 1725-28. The image highlights the Palladian and Baroque influences evident in its design. The imposing dome crowning the building's center draws attention to its stately presence within a picturesque landscape. Capturing the exterior beauty of Houghton Hall from a unique perspective, this photograph showcases C18th architecture at its finest. Its composition and lighting emphasize both the scale and intricate details that make this country home truly exceptional. Displayed through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this photograph is a testament to British architectural heritage. It serves as a reminder of our rich history while also celebrating the artistry behind capturing such timeless beauty through photography.
