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 the River Thames in London showcases its historical significance to the city. The river has always played a vital role, providing water, transportation, and communication for centuries. In this stunning print titled "River Thames 21760_09" we are presented with a series of bridges spanning between Tower Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge. The Romans were the first to construct a bridge across the river shortly after their invasion in AD43, marking an important milestone in London's development. As we gaze at this image, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent cruiser HMS Belfast gracefully positioned between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Beyond these iconic landmarks lies Canary Wharf, where towering skyscrapers pierce through the sky. This bustling urban landscape serves as a reminder of London's modernity and continuous growth. The composition beautifully captures both the tranquility and vibrancy that coexist along this historic waterway. The boats gently gliding on its surface add movement and life to an otherwise still scene. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print invites us to reflect upon the enduring importance of River Thames throughout history. It reminds us that while time may pass and landscapes change, certain elements remain constant - like the ever-present flow of water connecting generations past with those yet to come.
