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 print captures the essence of Hertford Street in Coventry, West Midlands, showcasing its post-war architectural marvels. The image, skillfully captured by Steven Baker for Historic England, offers a mesmerizing general view from the north east. As one's gaze is drawn upwards, the eye catches sight of an extraordinary feature that sets this street apart - William Mitchell's resin bronze and precast concrete panels adorning the shopfront canopies. These unique panels add a touch of artistic brilliance to the otherwise ordinary facades. Their intricate designs and textures create a visual spectacle against the backdrop of Coventry's urban landscape. Each panel seems to tell its own story, inviting passersby to pause and appreciate their beauty. The photograph serves as a reminder of Coventry's resilience after World War II when much of the city was devastated by bombings. It showcases how architecture played an integral role in rebuilding communities and breathing new life into once desolate areas. Steven Baker has masterfully captured not only the physical aspects but also the spirit of Hertford Street through his lens. His composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this post-war architectural gem while evoking a sense of curiosity about what lies beyond each shopfront canopy. This print stands as a testament to both history and artistry; it encapsulates Coventry's journey towards revitalization while celebrating William Mitchell's contribution to its architectural heritage.
