31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photograph, taken by John Gay between 1960 and 1972, showcases the breathtaking interior of the St. Pancras Hotel in London, specifically the grand staircase area of the Midland Grand Hotel. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, with its intricately designed Gothic architecture and ornate stone vaulted ceiling. The oblique angle of the shot draws our attention to the stunning details of the staircase, each step adorned with intricate carvings and a sense of grandeur that is both imposing and inviting. The play of light and shadow on the stone walls adds depth and texture to the scene, while the delicate arches of the ceiling create a sense of height and openness. The Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras was originally designed by the renowned architect George Gilbert Scott and opened in 1876. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of the building, which has been meticulously preserved and restored over the years. The image invites us to imagine the bustling activity of the hotel's grand entrance hall, with travelers from all corners of the world making their way up the staircase, each step bringing them closer to their next adventure. The St. Pancras Hotel remains a symbol of London's rich history and a must-see destination for visitors to the city today.
