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 transports us back in time to the medieval era, capturing the essence of Beeston Castle in Cheshire. The intricate reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper showcases the Outer Gatehouse, a vital entrance and defense point for this formidable fortress. As we gaze upon the image, our imagination runs wild with visions of hay carts bustling through the gates, bringing life and sustenance into this ancient stronghold. The attention to detail in Lapper's graphic depiction is truly remarkable. Every stone and archway has been meticulously recreated, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural grandeur and strategic significance of Beeston Castle. It serves as a powerful reminder of how fortifications like these played a crucial role in safeguarding communities during turbulent times. Beyond its defensive purpose, this illustration also offers glimpses into daily life within the castle walls. The presence of hay carts suggests an active agricultural community thriving within these protective confines. It sparks curiosity about who inhabited this fortress: knights clad in armor or humble farmers tending their crops? As we admire Ivan Lapper's skillful artwork, it becomes evident that he has expertly captured not just a physical structure but also an entire historical narrative. This print is more than just an aesthetically pleasing piece; it is a window into centuries past – inviting us to explore and appreciate England's rich heritage through artistry and imagination.
