17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
1. Title: "Iron Bridge - A Testament to Industrial Revolution's Grandeur" This evocative photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Peter Williams for Historic England, immortalizes the Iron Bridge in Shropshire, a true architectural marvel and a symbol of the Industrial Revolution's transformative power. The image showcases the bridge in all its glory, spanning the picturesque River Severn and nestled amidst the lush, verdant gorge. The Iron Bridge, completed in 1779, was the world's first major bridge made entirely of iron. Its construction marked a significant milestone in engineering history, paving the way for larger, more complex structures. The bridge's intricate ironwork, which seamlessly merges form and function, is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of its creator, Abraham Darby III. The photograph beautifully highlights the bridge's elegant curves, which gracefully follow the contours of the river, and the delicate, wrought-iron latticework that supports its impressive span. The ironwork's rich, rustic patina, acquired over centuries, adds an air of timelessness and authenticity to the structure. The River Severn, meandering gently beneath the bridge, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the scene. The reflection of the bridge in the river's calm waters creates a mirror-like effect, further emphasizing its architectural beauty. The Iron Bridge and its surrounding landscape have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its historical, cultural, and architectural significance. This photograph encapsulates the essence of this remarkable site, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the profound impact of the Industrial Revolution on our world.
