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.

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
1. Title: "The Enduring Grace of Kirkstead Abbey: A Medieval Ruin in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire" Amidst the tranquil landscapes of Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire lies the enchanting remnants of Kirkstead Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery that once stood as a beacon of faith and devotion. This evocative photograph by John Scarbro FRPS, captured by Historic England, invites us to explore the rich history and architectural beauty of this scheduled ancient monument. The south-east angle of the south transept, depicted in the image, is a poignant reminder of the monastery's once grandeur. The intricately carved limestone ashlar, now weathered by time, bears testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the medieval artisans who labored over its creation. The ruins, now listed, stand as a silent witness to the passage of centuries, their stories whispered in the wind that rustles through the surrounding woodlands. The Cistercian monks, known for their rigorous adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict, established Kirkstead Abbey in the late 12th century. The monastery flourished for over 300 years, providing refuge and spiritual guidance to countless pilgrims and travelers. However, the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII brought an end to the monastic life at Kirkstead Abbey, leaving behind the hauntingly beautiful ruins that we see today. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of the elements, the spirit of Kirkstead Abbey remains undiminished. Its crumbling walls continue to draw visitors from near and far, captivated by the romance of its history and the enduring grace of its architectural splendor. This photograph by John Scarbro FRPS serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the medieval world and the enduring allure of our heritage.
