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, taken by the talented Damian Grady, showcases the imposing presence of Didcot Power Station in Oxfordshire. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as it was captured in February 2013, just before this iconic industrial landmark ceased operations on March 22nd of the same year.
Didcot A Power Station stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its colossal size dominates the landscape, serving as a testament to human engineering prowess and our reliance on electricity generation. This power station has been an integral part of Oxfordshire's history for decades, providing energy to countless homes and businesses.
The intricate details visible from above highlight the complexity of this industrial marvel. Towers rise high into the air while multiple chimneys release plumes of smoke that blend with clouds overhead. The symmetrical layout reveals careful planning and precision in its construction.
As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder not only of Didcot Power Station's significance but also its eventual decommissioning and closure. It prompts us to reflect on how times change and technologies evolve over years gone by.
Damian Grady's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality found within such an imposing structure. Through his lens, we gain a unique perspective on an essential piece of England's industrial heritage – one that will forever be etched into our memories as we move towards greener sources of energy production.
