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.

This print takes us back in time to the heart of Dover Castle's secret wartime tunnels. Steeped in history and intrigue, this interior view showcases the stairs leading down from the Tank Room to Dumpy Level. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a pivotal moment during World War II when these underground passageways played a crucial role in safeguarding our nation. The composition expertly captures the somber atmosphere that envelops these hidden chambers. The dimly lit staircase beckons us downward, evoking a sense of anticipation and mystery. The worn steps bear witness to countless footsteps taken by brave soldiers who once traversed them with unwavering determination. Dover Castle stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and strength, its wartime tunnels serving as a testament to human ingenuity in times of adversity. This photograph allows us a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for our freedom. Derek Kendall's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this image – from the play of light and shadows on the stone walls to the intricate architectural elements that punctuate each step. Through his lens, he has captured not just an ordinary staircase but also a poignant reminder of our shared history. As we reflect upon this remarkable photo print, let it serve as both a tribute to those who served and a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is always hope shining through.
