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 stunning photograph, titled "The Barbican Centre, Silk Street, London. Detail of tower block," captures the modern architectural beauty of the Barbican Centre in London, as captured by the lens of James O. Davies. The image, part of Historic England's extensive collection, showcases the intricate detail and complex design of the residential towers that make up this iconic complex. The Barbican Centre, a Grade II listed building, is a prime example of Brutalist architecture, characterized by its raw concrete surfaces and geometric shapes. The towers, with their repetitive patterns and clean lines, rise majestically against the London skyline. The use of large expanses of glass in the towers allows for an abundance of natural light to filter in, creating a bright and airy atmosphere within. The Barbican Centre was built in the 1960s and 1970s, and was designed to provide affordable housing for the residents of London. The complex includes not only the residential towers, but also a concert hall, an art gallery, a library, and a cinema. The Barbican Estate is home to over 2,000 residents, making it one of the largest residential developments in Europe. The Barbican Centre's unique design and innovative approach to urban living have made it a beloved and iconic part of London's landscape. This photograph, with its intricate detail and stunning composition, offers a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of this modern architectural marvel.
