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 intricate beauty of St Mawes Castle, nestled in the charming coastal town of Cornwall. The focus lies on a remarkable detail - the coat of arms that proudly adorns the entrance to this historic fortress. Standing tall and strong, it serves as a testament to its formidable past. Built during Tudor times, St Mawes Castle was designed with one purpose in mind: defence. Its imposing stone structure and fortified gate stand as a reminder of an era when protection was paramount. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining the countless battles fought within these walls. The craftsmanship evident in every inch of this castle is awe-inspiring. The delicate details etched into the coat of arms speak volumes about the pride and heritage associated with St Mawes Castle. It symbolizes not only strength but also nobility. Mike Hesketh-Roberts has masterfully captured this moment in history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its architectural grandeur and historical significance. This print serves as a window into our past, reminding us of the importance placed on fortification and security during turbulent times. As we admire this work by Historic England, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our rich cultural heritage preserved within these ancient stones.
