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
This print by Peter Williams showcases the Meare Fish House, a remarkable piece of history nestled in the picturesque county of Somerset. Standing proudly as the sole surviving monastic fishery building in England, this architectural gem transports us back to a time when fishing played an integral role in sustaining communities. The exterior view captured here reveals the sheer beauty and craftsmanship that went into constructing this centuries-old structure. Its weathered stone walls exude a sense of resilience, standing strong against the test of time. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance and imagine the countless stories it holds within its walls. Adding to the charm of this scene are wild flowers blooming vibrantly in the foreground. Their delicate petals create a striking contrast against the ruggedness of the fish house, infusing life and color into an otherwise stoic setting. It's as if nature itself is paying homage to this ancient monument, reminding us that even amidst change and decay, beauty persists. Peter Williams' expert composition allows us to appreciate both grandeur and subtlety simultaneously. Through his lens, he captures not just a building but also an essence—a glimpse into our shared past. This print invites us to reflect on our connection with history while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond its frame—an invitation to explore further and uncover more hidden treasures scattered across England's rich heritage landscape.
