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.

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 a significant moment in history - the felling of 18 colossal chimneys belonging to The London Brick Company on December 1st, 1980. Standing at an impressive height of 190ft, these towering structures were brought down as part of a concerted effort to clean up Bedfordshire. The image showcases the sheer magnitude of this demolition project, with an architectural landscape dominated by these giant chimneys. A sturdy vehicle truck is seen nearby, serving as a key subject amidst the destruction unfolding before it. In this monochromatic format, devoid of any human presence, the focus remains solely on the monumental task at hand. The photograph serves as a testament to both the power and vulnerability of man-made constructs within our environment. The scene evokes thoughts about progress and change within the construction industry while highlighting financial implications associated with such endeavors. It also prompts reflection on how architecture can shape landscapes and influence communities. Preserved in archival quality, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a specific moment in time during the late 20th century. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly permanent structures can be dismantled when necessary for societal betterment.
