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
Pendennis Castle, a historic fortification nestled in the picturesque town of Falmouth, Cornwall, is depicted in this elegant engraving by Samuel and Nathaniel Buck from 1734. The north east view showcases the castle's impressive defensive structures, which have stood guard over the English Channel for centuries. The Tudor-style castle, with its imposing towers and battlements, was originally built by King Henry VIII in the 1540s to protect against foreign invasion. The engraving captures the castle's strategic location on a rocky promontory, overlooking the vast expanse of the sea. The calm waters of the English Channel are dotted with boats, adding a sense of tranquility to the otherwise formidable scene. The castle's cannons, poised and ready, serve as a reminder of its historical role as a crucial fortification in England's coastal defenses. The Georgian era, during which this engraving was created, saw significant improvements and additions to Pendennis Castle. The castle's fortifications were modernized, and new structures were added to enhance its defensive capabilities. The result is a stunning blend of Tudor and Georgian architectural styles, which continues to captivate visitors to this day. Pendennis Castle is not only a testament to England's rich military history but also a beautiful example of the country's architectural heritage. This engraving offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of castles, cannons, and the sea.
