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
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: The Fosse Way Roman Road from an Aerial Perspective 2. Description: This aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady for Historic England in 2018, offers a unique perspective on the ancient Fosse Way Roman Road as it stretches southwest towards the historic market town of Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England. The Fosse Way, one of the most significant Roman roads in Britain, was constructed during the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. 3. The image reveals the intricate layout of the Roman road, which was meticulously engineered to facilitate the movement of troops, trade, and communication between the Roman settlements of Lincoln and Exeter. The road's alignment is clearly visible, with its characteristic width, straight sections, and gentle curves designed to minimize the impact of terrain on travel. 4. As the photograph looks down upon the landscape, the Fosse Way can be seen cutting through the verdant fields and farmland, its alignment unchanged by the passage of time. The road's alignment is punctuated by the occasional tree or hedgerow, providing a stark contrast to the ancient pavement and the modern world that lies beyond. 5. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history of the area, with the remains of Roman settlements and other archaeological sites visible in the surrounding landscape. These sites, many of which are now protected by Historic England, provide invaluable insights into the lives of the people who lived and worked in this region during the Roman occupation. 6. The Fosse Way remains an enduring testament to the engineering prowess and cultural influence of the ancient Romans. This aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and understanding our shared heritage, and the role that archaeology plays in uncovering the stories of the past.
