31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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
This haunting image captures the solemn beauty of a 13th-century Icelandic grave site, where a man and his loyal horse were laid to rest together for eternity. In Icelandic tradition, horses were often sent into the afterlife with their owners as companions on their journey to Valhalla.
The stark contrast of the white horse skull against the dark earth serves as a poignant reminder of mortality and the inevitable passage of time. The skeletal remains are a testament to lives once lived, now preserved in eternal slumber beneath weathered tombstones.
As we gaze upon this ancient burial ground, we are transported back in time to an era when death was not feared but embraced as a natural part of life's cycle. The intricate details captured in this photograph speak volumes about the deep bond between man and animal, transcending even beyond death.
Through this powerful image, we are reminded that our earthly existence is fleeting, but our spirits live on in memory and legacy. May we honor those who have passed before us by cherishing each moment we have with loved ones and embracing the mysteries of life and death with grace and reverence.
