23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 grand entrance to Marlborough College, located in the picturesque town of Marlborough, Wiltshire during the early 20th century. The imposing gate stands as a symbol of tradition and heritage, reflecting the esteemed history of this renowned British public school. In 1968, Marlborough College made a groundbreaking decision by becoming the first major English public school to open its doors to girls in the sixth form. This progressive move set a trend that would eventually be followed by many other schools across the country. It marked an important step towards gender equality in education and paved the way for future generations. The transformation continued until 1989 when Marlborough College became fully co-educational, embracing diversity and creating an inclusive learning environment for all students. This significant milestone solidified its reputation as a forward-thinking institution dedicated to providing quality education. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are reminded not only of Marlborough's architectural beauty but also of its pivotal role in shaping educational norms throughout history. The presence of young pupils passing through these gates serves as a reminder that education is timeless and transcends generations. This remarkable photograph allows us to reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging those who paved the way for progress within our educational system.
