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 print by Damian Grady showcases the remarkable Fovant Badges, a collection of chalk military badges etched into the landscape on Fovant Down. The image captures three distinct badges: those of the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, Ymca, and 6th Battalion the City of London Regiment. The Fovant Badges hold great historical significance as they were created during World War I to boost morale among troops stationed in this area. These impressive hill figures served as a constant reminder of home and unity for soldiers who were far away from their loved ones. Grady's photograph beautifully highlights these intricate designs carved into the earth, showcasing their scale and precision. The contrasting white chalk against the lush green surroundings creates a visually striking composition that draws viewers in. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where patriotism and camaraderie flourished amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's rich military heritage and pays tribute to those who bravely served our country. Damian Grady's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these badges but also their enduring legacy. This print is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's ability to preserve history through its landscapes.
