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 essence of Coventry's Lower Precinct, a place steeped in history and post-war resilience. The focal point of this image is the remarkable tiled mural created by Gordon Cullen, an artwork that has become synonymous with this passage way connecting Lower Precinct to Corporation Street.
The intricate details of Cullen's masterpiece are brought to life through Steven Baker's lens, allowing us to appreciate the artist's vision and craftsmanship. Each tile tells a story, depicting scenes from Coventry's past while also embracing its present identity. From the vibrant colors that evoke a sense of vitality to the carefully chosen imagery that represents community spirit and unity, every aspect of this mural exudes a profound sense of pride.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but be transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how art can transcend generations and serve as a testament to human resilience. This artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction and adversity, beauty can emerge.
Coventry itself stands as an emblematic city; one that has risen from ashes after enduring devastating bombings during World War II. It is fitting then that such an extraordinary piece adorns these walls – symbolizing not only Coventry’s ability to rebuild but also its unwavering commitment to culture and creativity.
Steven Baker skillfully captures both the grandeur and subtleties within this scene – highlighting each brushstroke on those tiles with precision. Through his lens, he invites us into this hidden passageway where history meets contemporary artistry; where tradition intertwines with innovation.
In preserving moments like these through photography, we ensure that future generations will continue to marvel at the ingenuity displayed within our cities' walls. This print serves as a timeless tribute not just to Gordon Cullen or Steven Baker but also celebrates Coventry’s indomitable spirit captured for eternity by Historic England.
