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 photograph, titled "General view of sculpture - Cows, north of Monks Way" by James O. Davies, showcases the iconic Concrete Cows sculpture located in Monks Way, Bancroft, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. This intriguing work of art, created by the sculptor Jaume Plensa, is a beloved landmark of the area and a testament to the creative vision of Milton Keynes' early urban planners. The Concrete Cows, also known as "A Herd," were installed in 2009 as part of the town's 40th anniversary celebrations. The sculpture consists of a herd of 10 large, white, fiberglass cows with concrete faces, each one unique in expression and character. They are situated in a grassy area north of Monks Way, surrounded by lush greenery and providing a striking contrast between the organic and the industrial. The Concrete Cows have become a symbol of Milton Keynes' unique identity, drawing visitors from near and far. They serve as a reminder of the town's innovative approach to urban planning and its commitment to incorporating art into public spaces. This photograph by James O. Davies beautifully captures the essence of this sculpture, inviting us to ponder the meaning behind the cows' concrete faces and the role they play in the community. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of art to inspire, provoke thought, and bring people together. The Concrete Cows are more than just a collection of sculptures; they are a source of pride, a conversation starter, and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
