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 print captures the essence of a small town's struggle amidst challenging times. The image showcases a rundown and closed down post office building in Scotland, UK, standing as a stark reminder of the impact of recession and social issues on local communities. With storm clouds looming overhead, the weathered exterior tells a story of neglect and abandonment. The peeling paint and boarded-up windows speak volumes about the building's deteriorating condition. It is evident that this once bustling establishment has fallen victim to economic hardships, leaving behind an eerie silence where people used to gather for their postal needs. The photograph beautifully portrays the resilience of home ownership in the face of adversity. Despite its dilapidated state, there is an undeniable charm emanating from this forgotten structure – a testament to its historical significance within the community. Sean Gladwell's photography skillfully captures every detail, emphasizing both the beauty and decay present in this scene. As viewers engage with this powerful image, they are reminded of how fragile our societal structures can be when faced with economic challenges or government shutdowns. This thought-provoking print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst difficult circumstances, there is still hope for rejuvenation and revival within these small towns across Scotland and beyond.
