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
Highclere Castle, nestled in the heart of Hampshire, England, proudly stands as the largest mansion in the county. This magnificent edifice, captured in the late 1890s by renowned Victorian photographer Henry Taunt, showcases the Elizabethan-style remodeling undertaken by Sir Charles Barry between 1839 and 1842. The original classical mansion underwent a significant transformation under the patronage of Henry Herbert, the 3rd Earl of Carnarvon. The north-eastern facade of Highclere Castle, as depicted in this photograph, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Victorian era. The intricate stonework, the towering turrets, and the ornate windows all contribute to the enchanting allure of this historic estate. The castle's red-hued brickwork, set against the lush greenery of its surroundings, creates a striking contrast that is both captivating and timeless. Highclere Castle, a true architectural marvel, has been a source of inspiration for generations. Its storied past and elegant design have made it a beloved subject for artists, photographers, and visitors alike. More recently, the castle has gained international recognition as a filming location for the critically acclaimed television series, Downton Abbey. This photograph, taken by Henry Taunt over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when grandeur and elegance reigned supreme.
