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 photograph, titled "Hoover Building" (IoE 201068), showcases the architectural grandeur of a significant arterial road factory from the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Anthony Rau for Historic England, this image encapsulates the essence of concrete modernism that defined the industrial landscape of the thirties. The Hoover Building, an iconic structure of its time, stands proudly with its sleek, angular lines and geometric forms, reflecting the Art Deco influence that swept through the architectural world during this era. The building's imposing presence is further accentuated by its grand scale and the meticulous arrangement of its windows, which resemble the orderly lines of pharaoh's hieroglyphs, lending an Egyptian feel to the structure. Despite its industrial purpose, the Hoover Building is a testament to the aesthetic values of the period. Its design was not driven by commercial considerations alone but also by a desire to create a visually striking and innovative structure. The use of concrete, a relatively new building material at the time, adds to the building's modernity and underlines its significance as a pioneering architectural achievement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when industrial structures were not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The Hoover Building, with its bold design and enduring charm, continues to inspire architects and design enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the power of architecture to shape our urban landscapes and leave a lasting impact on our collective memory.
