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 takes us back in time to the year 1797, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Temple Bar in the City of London. The image showcases the west view of this iconic structure, although it is worth noting that it actually depicts the Westminster side. Constructed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1672, this incarnation of Temple Bar served as a gate between the Cities of London and Westminster. Standing tall with its impressive architecture and intricate details, it was truly a sight to behold. However, progress often demands sacrifice, and sadly Temple Bar met its fate in 1878 when it was dismantled to make way for road widening. Fortunately, much of its original stonework was preserved and used for a reconstruction project at Paternoster Square. The coloured engraving featured in this print beautifully captures all these historical elements. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also how cities evolve over time. Thanks to Historic England Photo Library's meticulous preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this stunning piece from their Mayson Beeton Collection. This photograph allows us to travel back through history and witness firsthand one of London's most significant landmarks - Temple Bar - frozen forever in time.
