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 showcases the iconic sculpture "Boar" by renowned British artist Elisabeth Frink, situated in The Water Gardens of Harlow, Essex. Created in 1970, this post-war sculpture stands as a testament to Frink's innovative and thought-provoking artistic vision. The Boar sculpture, with its powerful and imposing presence, is a striking addition to the serene landscape of The Water Gardens. The image captured by Steven Baker in 2015 from a south-eastern perspective, offers a unique vantage point that highlights the intricate details of the sculpture's textured surface and the interplay of light and shadow. Elisabeth Frink's Boar is a masterpiece of modern sculpture, embodying the raw energy and primal power of the animal kingdom. The sculpture's bold and expressive form, with its muscular body and splayed hooves, evokes a sense of both fear and awe. The Water Gardens, designed by the architectural team of Cedric Price and Peter and Alison Smithson, provide the perfect setting for Frink's Boar. The gardens, with their modernist design and reflective pools, offer a thought-provoking contrast to the raw and primal energy of the sculpture. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the harmony between art and nature, showcasing the timeless beauty of Elisabeth Frink's Boar and the tranquil surroundings of The Water Gardens. The image invites the viewer to reflect on the power and complexity of both the natural world and the human imagination.
