31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures a moment frozen in time during the Festival of Britain in 1951. The image showcases Mitzi Solomon Cunliffe's remarkable sculpture, Root Bodied Forth, exhibited proudly on the South Bank Exhibition site in Lambeth, London. Meticulously captured by photographer M W Parry, this archival print transports us back to an era of artistic innovation and cultural celebration. Root Bodied Forth stands as a testament to Cunliffe's creative genius. Its intricate design and imposing presence command attention from all who lay eyes upon it. The sculpture's organic form seems to emerge effortlessly from the ground, symbolizing growth and vitality. With its roots firmly grounded, it reaches skyward with graceful branches that seem to dance against the backdrop of London's skyline. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the significance of public art in shaping our collective identity. Root Bodied Forth not only adds beauty to its surroundings but also serves as a powerful reminder of human creativity and resilience amidst post-war reconstruction. M W Parry skillfully captures every detail - from the texture of the sculpture's surface to the play between light and shadow - making this archival print a true work of art itself. It allows us to appreciate both Cunliffe's masterpiece and Parry's talent for immortalizing moments through his lens. This photograph is more than just a historical document; it is an invitation to explore our past while contemplating how art continues to shape our
