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
Portchester Castle, nestled in the heart of Hampshire, England, stands proudly on a strategic position overlooking the Solent estuary. This evocative photograph by Derek Kendall captures the essence of medieval fortification and the passage of time. The Norman keep, a testament to England's rich history, is reflected in the tranquil waters, creating a mesmerizing mirror image. The castle, founded in the late Roman period, has served variously as a Roman fort, Saxon settlement, and Norman stronghold. Its imposing walls and towering keep have withstood the test of time, bearing witness to the ebb and flow of history. The castle's defensive structures, including the curtain walls, bastions, and moats, are clearly visible in this image, reminding us of the importance of fortification in medieval England. The serene reflection of the castle in the water adds a sense of calm to the scene, contrasting the rugged, stone structures with the gentle ripples of the water. The presence of a boat in the foreground serves as a reminder of the castle's strategic location and the importance of water transportation in medieval times. This photograph by Derek Kendall invites us to reflect on the rich history of Portchester Castle and the role it played in England's past. It is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of medieval architecture and the enduring allure of the past.
