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 aerial view of Catford House, captured between 1885 and 1887, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the Victorian era. The photograph, part of the esteemed Cecil Victor Shadbolt collection of lantern slides dating from 1882-1892 housed in the Historic England Archive, showcases the grandeur and architectural splendor that defined this period. From a height of approximately 1900 feet, we are treated to an expansive vista encompassing not only Catford House but also its surrounding streets on Catford Hill in Lewisham. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate the intricate details and ornate features adorning this magnificent structure. The image evokes a sense of wonder as we marvel at how our ancestors experienced their world from such lofty heights. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and technological advancements during this time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, it is impossible not to be transported back in time; imagining horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone streets below while men donning top hats stroll along with ladies adorned in elegant Victorian attire. This print provides us with a rare opportunity to connect with history through visual storytelling. It reminds us that even though times have changed dramatically since then, there is still much beauty and fascination to be found in exploring our past.
