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 print captures the magnificent exterior of Coventry Cathedral, also known as St Michaels Cathedral, located in the heart of Coventry, West Midlands. The image focuses on a mesmerizing roof detail of the new cathedral designed by renowned architect Basil Spence. The architectural brilliance showcased here is a testament to the city's resilience and determination to rebuild after being devastated during World War II. Coventry suffered severe bomb damage in 1940, leaving its medieval cathedral in ruins. However, this photograph showcases the post-war triumph as it unveils an awe-inspiring structure that emerged from the ashes. Basil Spence's design seamlessly blends modernist elements with traditional Gothic influences, resulting in a harmonious fusion of old and new. The intricate roof detail depicted here exemplifies his meticulous attention to craftsmanship and aesthetics. As you gaze upon this image captured by Steven Baker for Historic England, you cannot help but be captivated by the grandeur and symbolism embodied within these walls. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Coventry's ability to overcome adversity but also of humanity's capacity for resilience and hope. This print allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of Coventry Cathedral—a symbol not just for one city but for all those who have persevered through challenging times throughout history.
