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.

Calshot Castle - A Majestic Tudor Fortification Illuminated at Night
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the grandeur of Calshot Castle, a remarkable Tudor fortification nestled on the picturesque Solent coast in Hampshire. Bathed in a warm glow under the night sky, the castle's imposing keep stands tall as a testament to its historical significance and strategic importance. Built during the reign of Henry VIII as part of his coastal defense system, Calshot Castle served as an artillery stronghold guarding the mouth of Southampton Water. Its sturdy walls and formidable cannons once stood ready to repel any potential invaders approaching from sea. In this stunning image captured by Historic England Photo Library, floodlights beautifully highlight every architectural detail of this ancient fortress. The play between light and shadow adds depth and drama to its rugged stone facade, evoking a sense of awe-inspiring strength that has withstood centuries. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when castles like these were vital guardians against external threats. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also pays homage to those who designed and built such magnificent structures for our protection. The beauty and resilience displayed by Calshot Castle continue to captivate visitors today. This image is truly emblematic of its enduring legacy - standing proudly amidst changing tides while preserving tales from our past for generations yet unborn.
