Earthwork Moat Pond Ridge And Furrow Villa
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 print captures the rich historical tapestry of Car Colston, Nottinghamshire. The image showcases the fascinating coexistence of a Minor Romano-British villa and its medieval counterparts, as evidenced by the intricate earthworks that surround them. The moat surrounding the villa stands as a testament to its defensive nature, while also adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this ancient site. The carefully preserved ridge and furrow patterns in the fields nearby speak volumes about the agricultural practices of yesteryears. Notably, six fishponds can be seen dotting the landscape, serving as a reminder of how vital these water bodies were for sustenance during medieval times. These ponds not only provided food but also served as recreational spaces for those living within this vibrant community. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured aerial perspective allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacy of this historical site. It invites us to imagine what life must have been like for those who resided here centuries ago – their daily routines, social interactions, and cultural traditions that shaped their existence. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England, we are reminded of our duty to preserve such invaluable remnants from our past. This visual documentation serves as a poignant reminder that history is not just confined within textbooks; it lives on through tangible relics like these – connecting us with our ancestors and enriching our understanding of human civilization.
