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 18th century view of Dover Castle, captured in a painting now held by Historic England Photo Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The painting, titled and artist unknown, showcases the majestic fortress perched atop the White Cliffs of Dover, overlooking the English Channel. Dover Castle, a symbol of England's rich history and resilience, has stood guard for over 900 years. Its strategic location at the narrowest point of the English Channel made it an essential stronghold for defending the realm against invading forces. This painting, created in the late 18th century, captures the castle in its full glory, with its impressive keep, curtain walls, and bastions standing proud against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the vast expanse of the sea. The painting also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the late 18th century. The ships in the foreground, the small fishing boats in the harbor, and the people and animals milling about in the town below, all add to the sense of history and the passage of time. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of castles, kings, and the sea. The view of Dover Castle, as captured in this painting, is not only a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the castle but also a reminder of the rich history and heritage that it represents.
