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 the solemnity of the Memorial in St. Pauls Churchyard, commemorating the destruction of St. Pauls Cross by the Roundheads during the First English Civil War in 1643. The image showcases a Doric column made of Portland stone, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, standing tall against the backdrop of Old St Pauls Cathedral in London. The monument, erected between 1908 and 1910, serves as a poignant reminder of a significant event in British history. Atop the column stands a statue of St. Paul created by Sir Bertram Mackennal, adding an artistic touch to this architectural marvel. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, we are transported back to an era when religion played a central role in society. The image evokes feelings of reverence and reflection as we contemplate both the physical destruction caused by war and the enduring spirit of faith that perseveres through such trials. This snapshot invites us to ponder not only on historical events but also on our own relationship with spirituality and heritage. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil and conflict, symbols like crosses can hold deep meaning for individuals and communities alike. In capturing this moment frozen in time, photographer Donald McLeish skillfully conveys both architectural grandeur and emotional resonance—a testament to his artistry as well as his dedication to preserving cultural heritage through photography.
