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 view reconstruction drawing of Dover Castle takes us back to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and strategic significance of this formidable fortress. Crafted by Terry Ball from the English Heritage Graphics Team, this print showcases their remarkable talent in bringing history to life.
Perched majestically atop the iconic white cliffs of Kent, Dover Castle stands as a testament to centuries of defense and protection. Its imposing presence dominates the landscape, overlooking both land and sea with an unwavering vigilance. This graphic representation skillfully captures its architectural intricacies, allowing us to appreciate its sheer magnitude.
The castle's crenelated walls rise proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and crashing waves—a visual reminder of its crucial role in safeguarding England's southern coast. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time when knights clad in armor patrolled these very ramparts.
Every detail has been meticulously recreated: arrow slits for archers defending against invaders; sturdy towers that housed soldiers ready for battle; and a central keep serving as both residence for nobles and last line of defense during sieges. The artist's attention to historical accuracy is evident throughout this stunning piece.
Dover Castle holds within its ancient stones countless stories—tales of conquests repelled, monarchs sheltered, and secrets whispered behind closed doors. It remains an enduring symbol not only of military might but also cultural heritage.
As we gaze upon this evocative print from Historic England Photo Library, our imagination soars alongside those birds captured mid-flight above it all. We are reminded that history lives on through such masterful depictions—an invitation to explore our past while appreciating the artistry that brings it vividly into our present day.
