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 breathtaking photograph captures the iconic modern architecture of The Shard, a towering masterpiece located in Southwark, London. Designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano and completed in 2012, this 95-story glass and steel structure stands as an iconic symbol of the city's dynamic skyline. Photographed in May 2013 by Damian Grady for Historic England, this aerial view showcases The Shard's unique design, with its distinctive, angular shape and reflective glass surfaces that shimmer in the sunlight. The building's height of 310 meters (1,017 feet) makes it the tallest building in the European Union, and its observation deck offers visitors panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Shard's design was inspired by the area's rich history and its proximity to the River Thames. The building's triangular shape is reminiscent of the nearby glass-making factories that once dominated the area, while its reflective glass surfaces reflect the ever-changing sky and surrounding cityscape. This photograph not only showcases the architectural brilliance of The Shard but also highlights the beauty and complexity of London's urban landscape. The intricate interplay of light and shadow on the building's surface creates a dynamic and ever-changing image, making it a must-see attraction for both locals and tourists alike.
