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 aerial photograph captures the remarkable Leicester excavations of 33128_032, showcasing a significant moment in the city's history. Conducted in April 2017, this archaeological excavation marked the largest endeavor of its kind in Leicester for an entire decade. Damian Grady's expert lens allows us to witness the unearthing of two Roman streets and a truly awe-inspiring discovery - the largest mosaic ever found within Leicester. From above, we are granted a unique perspective on this urban archaeology project that delves deep into the layers of time beneath Great Central Street and Highcross Street. The intricate patterns and meticulous craftsmanship evident in this colossal mosaic offer glimpses into ancient Roman life, transporting us back to an era long gone. The sheer scale of these findings is nothing short of extraordinary; it serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our innate curiosity about our past. As we marvel at this image, we can't help but be reminded that beneath our modern metropolis lies a rich tapestry woven by those who came before us. Damian Grady's photographic prowess beautifully captures not only the historical significance but also highlights how archaeology intersects with contemporary urban landscapes. This print stands as a powerful reminder that even amidst bustling cities, fragments from antiquity can still emerge to reshape our understanding of history.
