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 a momentous scene at the world's first full-scale atomic power station, Calder Hall in Cumberland, England. Taken on 16th October 1956 by L. Blandford from the Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, this portrait-style image showcases a towering structure that symbolizes mankind's pursuit of nuclear energy. In this mesmerizing composition, water cascades down the colossal cooling towers with an awe-inspiring force. The vertical lines emphasize their grandeur while creating a sense of authority and cool attitude. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the sheer magnitude and technological marvel before our eyes. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. This monochromatic format accentuates every detail - from the intricate design patterns to the powerful waterfall itself - evoking both a sense of refreshment and an appreciation for human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this archival piece, it reminds us not only of Calder Hall's historical significance but also serves as a visual testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of progress in fuel and power generation. It stands as a reminder that even amidst geographical locations like Cumberland in England, where finance meets innovation, monumental feats can be achieved. This remarkable photograph is more than just art; it encapsulates an era when nuclear energy was seen as revolutionary – promising boundless possibilities for future generations seeking sustainable solutions for our ever-growing energy
