17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 detail photograph, DP070233 by Peter Williams, showcases the intricate beauty of the brickwork found on the warehouses lining George Leigh Street in Ancoats, Manchester. Ancoats, a former industrial powerhouse of the textile industry, is renowned for its rich architectural heritage, and this image encapsulates the area's unique character. The brickwork in the photograph is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was once a hallmark of Manchester's industrial past. The red bricks, arranged in a Flemish bond pattern, are interspersed with bands of contrasting yellow bricks, creating a visually striking textured effect. The mortar joints are carefully pointed, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the history of Manchester's industrial past. The warehouses, with their large windows and high ceilings, were once the lifeblood of the textile industry. Goods were transported in and out of these warehouses via the nearby canal, making Ancoats a hub of commerce and industry. Despite the passage of time and the changing economic landscape, the brickwork on George Leigh Street remains a testament to Manchester's industrial heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the importance of preserving its architectural treasures for future generations to appreciate. The intricate patterns and textures of the brickwork tell a story of Manchester's past, and this image invites us to pause and reflect on the city's industrial legacy.
