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 aerial photograph captures the majestic Hastings Castle, perched on the cliffs above the charming town of Hastings in East Sussex. The image showcases the intricate plan of this medieval keep and bailey castle, providing a glimpse into its rich history. Dating back to Norman times, this formidable fortress has withstood the test of time, witnessing countless events that have shaped England's past. However, nature's fury took its toll in 1287 when violent storms caused parts of the castle to crumble into the unforgiving sea below. This tragic event forever altered its grandeur but also added an air of mystery and intrigue to its story. Photographed by Damian Grady in September 2015, this print offers a unique perspective from above, revealing the strategic layout and architectural details that make this castle truly remarkable. Its imposing walls stand as a testament to human ingenuity and determination throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time; imagining knights patrolling these very grounds or nobles gathering within its fortified walls. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore further into England's fascinating past. Let this photograph be a window into history - an invitation for all who admire castles and medieval architecture alike to appreciate the beauty and resilience encapsulated within Hastings Castle.
